RE: inetd startup warns portmapper not running?
Here's a question for you... which package owns /usr/bin/rcpinfo on your
box? A Woody install of mine doesn't have it, despite having netkit-inetd
installed. Now, inetd's init, installed from this package, depends on that
executable, but there's no dependency to ensure that it gets installed.
You will get the message if the binary isn't there as well as when the
portmapper is actually dead.
I've been *about* to report it as a bug for days but keep getting
sidetracked. It's no problem on my box... I don't have any RPC services
anyway. :)
The web engine says that rpcinfo is part of netbase on Potato, and
netkit-rpc on Woody. Why netkit-inetd doesn't have a dependency on
netkit-rpc is beyond me.

Subject: inetd startup warns portmapper not running?
Hi,
My potato system has started warning that portmapper isn't running
during the execution of /etc/init.d/inetd at boot.
I've checked that portmap is indeed running and I've even manually
executed the logic that leads to this message. After boot it doesn't
match the failing condition (rpcinfo returning non-zero).
The RPC services are working. I can talk between virtual consoles.
All I've done recently is install security updates and packages from
the official CD-ROMS (2.2 r0). Does anyone have any idea as to why
this is happening?
TIA,
Neil Darlow.
