Operating Systems Solaris Rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error) Post 302820463 by christr on Wednesday 12th of June 2013 05:30:21 PM

Rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)

I have two servers with a fresh install of Solaris 11, and having problems when doing rpcinfo between them. There is no firewall involved, so everything should theoretically be getting through. Does anyone have any ideas? I did a lot of Google searches, and haven't found a working solution yet.

Code:
server1$ rpcinfo -p server2
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)

Code:
# svcs -a | grep rpc
disabled       May_20   svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default
disabled       May_20   svc:/network/rpc/rstat:default
