Hi Steve et al, We recently got a bug report from a customer trying to run nfs-utils (which is compiled against libtirpc on SLES 11) on a system with portmapper installed instead of rpcbind. Which failed miserably, because none of the RPC servers was able to register with portmap. One might argue, if it hurts don't do it, but OTOH this configuration isn't totally outlandish. In particular, ISVs may decide they want to compile an RPC enabled application against libtirpc, but still want it to run on a wide range of Linux versions. I looked into the issue and put together the following two patches, which I'm submitting for your kindly review. Thanks Olaf -- Neo didn't bring down the Matrix. SOA did.
