Strange that it always picks a different port.
FAM uses portmap, and most portmap services pick a somewhat arbitrary port.
I am not running portmap. However, starting sig_fam does start xinetd on a random udp port. Can sig_fam run without portmap? What happens to my system if I run neither?
I can't test to tell you for sure, since I'm using NFS. If I were to guess, I'd say that if you run sgi_fam without portmap, applications that want to use it will be unable to do so.
