It is required for import or export of Network File System (NFS) shared directories. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &rpcbind-md5sum; Download size: &rpcbind-size; Estimated disk space required: &rpcbind-buildsize; Estimated build time: &rpcbind-time; rpcbind Dependencies Required User Notes: There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the rpcbind daemon after it is started. Issue the following commands as the root user: groupadd -g 28 rpc && useradd -c "RPC Bind Daemon Owner" -d /dev/null -g rpc \ -s /bin/false -u 28 rpc In order to get rpcbind to work properly, first fix the package to use correct service name: sed -i "/servname/s:rpcbind:sunrpc:" src/rpcbind.c && sed -i "/error = getaddrinfo/s:rpcbind:sunrpc:" src/rpcinfo.c Install rpcbind by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/sbin \ --with-rpcuser=rpc \ --enable-warmstarts \ --with-statedir=/var/lib/rpcbind && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -dm755 -o rpc -g rpc /var/lib/rpcbind --with-rpcuser=rpc: This switch is used so the rpcbind daemon will run as an unprivileged user instead of root user. --enable-warmstarts: This switch is used to enable rpcbind to write the current list of registered services to a file when it shuts down so it can resume operation with the registrations found in the file when it is started again. --with-statedir=/var/lib/rpcbind: This switch is used to instruct rpcbind to write current list of registered services to a permanent location of /var/lib/rpcbind instead of /tmp. To start the rpcbind daemon at boot, install the systemd unit from the package by running the following command as the root user: rpcbind make install-rpcbind This package uses socket based activation and will be started when something needs it. No standalone unit file is provided for this package. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories rpcbind and rpcinfo None None Short Descriptions rpcbind is a server that converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses. It must be running on the host to be able to make RPC calls on a server on that machine. rpcbind rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports data according to the requested options. rpcinfo
