[SLE] Installation problem #2 -- 9.1 Pro -- portmapper
Has anyone installed 9.1 Pro and had portmap start (or seem to start and then quit)? I cannot find portmap when I do "ps -A | grep portmap". When I try to "mount gateway:/HDD2 /SomeDir" from another Linux machine I get the error: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive. When I examine /var/log/messages after doing "insserv /etc/init.d/portmap" I do not see any evidence that it ran or failed. However, when I re-run inetd it immediately displays an error, some kind of failure in communicating. All this makes me think that something has not been configured associated in some way with the operation or enabling of portmap. When I cause it to produce a status or retry it always declares success yet it must immediately fail because it does not show up on "ps -A" as it does on the other Linux machines. Could the firewall inhibit the operation of portmap? Should I be getting SuSe support to look at this problem? Thanks-TED

I had a very funny portmap problem after I installed 9.1 on three different machines. I would get the following message everytime I booted: Starting RPC portmap daemonportmap: fork: Success..failed The boot process would hang there or on mounting NFS shares from my network. It would hang for 1/2 hour. The problem went away when I did an online update via YOU. I don't know what patch fixed the problem. Maybe an update of some packages would help your portmap problem.
