Why is fam using portmap? Ah, I see, so that it can monitor remote files and directories. Therefore, it only needs portmap if NFS is configured, and therefore portmap will already be running/configured. Thus, instead of fscking around with portmap, fix fam so that it only uses portmap if it's available.
Quite right; that's obviously the correct fix.Seems to me this is an important bug in fam, and I hope fam will be fixed quickly.
