When the switch from portmap->rpcbind happened, upgrades were not tested that much I guess. Anyway /etc/services needs an rpcbind alias. Once that is in there everything works fine. Probably need a %post scriplet somewhere? I did have a modified /etc/services, but didn't see a .rpmnew or .rpmsave after the upgrade to clue me in to look for diffs. Anyway, from a diff of fresh install vs. upgrade below. Updated the bugzilla I had submitted. --- /etc/services 2007-06-13 21:47:01.000000000 -0700 +++ /hosts/hercules/etc/services 2006-05-24 13:12:48.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # /etc/services: -# $Id: services,v 1.43 2007/04/18 08:40:12 pknirsch Exp $ +# $Id: services,v 1.42 2006/02/23 13:09:23 pknirsch Exp $ # # Network services, Internet style # @@ -108,8 +108,8 @@ pop2 109/udp pop-2 pop3 110/tcp pop-3 # POP version 3 pop3 110/udp pop-3 -sunrpc 111/tcp portmapper rpcbind # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP -sunrpc 111/udp portmapper rpcbind # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP +sunrpc 111/tcp portmapper # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP +sunrpc 111/udp portmapper # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP auth 113/tcp authentication tap ident auth 113/udp authentication tap ident sftp 115/tcp -- Edwin Huffstutler edwinh@xxxxxxxxxxxx
