Re: [fam] The xinetd issue revisited

["James O'Kane" <jo2y@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I don't know specifically why it is needed in this case, I do know
what the portmapper is. RPC services bind to an arbitrary port, and then
tell portmap where they can be found. Then other services ask portmap what
port to look on. My guess is that /etc/init.d/portmap is not running or
not installed.
