The first two patches here I wrote some years ago but never posted - sorry. The third and fourth allow rpcbind to work with an abstract AF_UNIX address as preferentially used by recent kernels.

You realize that the broadcast code is configured out by default ./configure --help | grep rmt --enable-rmtcalls Enables Remote Calls [default=no] So do we want to introduce a flag and man page section for something that is off by default? steved.
[PATCH 3/4] Listen on an AF_UNIX abstract address if supported. [PATCH 4/4] rpcinfo: try connecting using abstract address.
