Greetings nate,

I followed your advice with results as follows:

## started portmap daemon

grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:01==>SUPER: /etc/init.d/portmap start
Starting portmap daemon: portmap.
grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:08==>SUPER: rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Unable to receive;
errno = Broken pipe

Similar error to that received when installing nfs-server ...

## starting nfs-common

grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:34==>SUPER: /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
Starting NFS common utilities: statd lockd.
grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:48==>SUPER: rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Unable to receive;
errno = Broken pipe

Same error as above ... hmmm 

Is there any way that either portsentry or ipchains is interfering with
communication?

I've attempted to install with portsentry stopped, but haven't yet tried
to alter my ~limited~ chains scripts.

Also, while problem solving I've:

1	checked inetd.conf for RPC services and restarted it with them
	commented out.
	Result: no change

2	Re-started inetd with RPC services enabled (that is the hash marks
	removed)
	Result: no change

I've also removed xinetd as it didn't convert all active services listed
in inetd when it was installed (as it ~appears~ to in the conf
messages).


Thanks for the suggestions.
