OT#2: Port 135

I keep an eye (okay, an ear) on my firewall log these days and I
see (okay, hear) efforts to reach my port 135. The /etc/services
file says it is "location service", but I cannot find any
information about it. Can anyone enlighten me? I have it
blocked. Is that a safe policy?

Thanks
Chuck
