this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ snipped a long list of other hosts ]
$ service rpcbind status
rpcbind (pid 2352) is running...
$ service nfslock status
rpc.statd (pid 2369) is running...
$ rpcinfo -p localhost
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Unknown host
If I don't tack the 'localhost' I get the expected result:
$ rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 4 udp 111 portmapper
100000 3 udp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 33977 status
100024 1 tcp 57425 status
Why won't it work with 'localhost' tacked on? I have another FC10
machine where that works just fine.
For the record: SElinux isn't installed, iptables is disabled, and
nmap shows the port listening. Why won't it work?
rpcinfo seems to exhibit similar behavior if ANY hostname is used with
the -p flag. That seems to be true in earlier versions of FC as well so
you may be mistaken about the -p option working correctly on other
systems. As far as I can tell it won't even work with an IP address
instead of a hostname so it isn't a problem resolving hostnames.
