Hi Neil, Steve,

Hey Neil,

Too much PTO :-)

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.

   [PATCH 1/4] manpage: describe use of extra port for broadcast rpc
   [PATCH 2/4] rpcbind: allow broadcast RPC to be disabled.
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?

I would say man page does not harm.

If I'm not mistaken, it's disabled in openSUSE and Debian/Ubuntu, maybe
disabling flag is really not needed.
As well as RHEL but not Fedora.

Kind regards,

   [PATCH 3/4] Listen on an AF_UNIX abstract address if supported.
