I've got a configuration of BSD that seems to have RPC partially
disabled. For instance, I can tell that RPC processes are running:
# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
....
However, when I try to ping a process:
# rpcinfo -t `hostname` 100000 2
rpcinfo: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
program 100000 version 2 is not available
Does anyone have any idea about what part of the configuration process
or system initialization I might have missed? It seems that the
portmapper should respond; I know it does on the Sun boxes that are
here.
Thanks for your help.
