RPCBIND for FC6?

[gundark]

I have been working on this nfs problem for about a week now, searching and I am finally stuck where I can make no more headway, or haven't for a few hours now.

Is there a rpcbind for fedora core 6? I can't find it on my computer, in Add/Remove software, or on google doing searches for a fc6 rpm containing rpcbind, what am I missing?

The reason I am looking for this is that I get this output from /var/log/messages:

Apr 22 13:07:00 latitude kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
Apr 22 13:07:00 latitude kernel: RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
Apr 22 13:08:30 latitude rpc.statd[3703]: Version 1.0.10 Starting
Apr 22 13:08:30 latitude rpc.statd[3703]: unable to register (statd, 1, udp).

the statd part comming from when I try and restart nfslock, wow am I stuck, can anyone help

P.S. this is on the client machine, the server is all set up and ready to go, it is a FC7 box.

rpcinfo and showmount have everything displaying correctly and say they are ready to go, on both machinces.

one more thing, rpcinfo does not connect to the client, connection refused is the error.

Similar problem here with

RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5)

, would appreciate anyone's advice.

Your not alone chaps.

I have a heavly used ladap/NFS setup at work using FC6 and those warnings are common enough. I remember last year trying to reolve it but with no luck at all.

That said I was getting them when i was securing LDAP auth via TLS and they would disapear when I disabled TLS. I noticed no side effects from it even if I did disable TLS.

Not good to see it is still in existence in FC7.

rpcinfo does not connect to the client, connection refused is the error. => probably firewall related

/sbin/portmap, that launches the daemon for portmap, for some reason its not rpcbind which makes no sense but thats how I got it to work for me, post again if this doesn't help

Unfortunately we were trying to get an install of LTSP and had to go with Ubuntu to get it to work, but I would be interested to hear if anyone else gets it on FC6
