Operating Systems Linux RPC Problem Post 302251569 by otheus on Monday 27th of October 2008 12:48:31 PM

There seems to be a problem with portmap. After service portmap restart, does it actually get to the process table?? The service init script uses a program called pmap_set to load the previous known state of the portmapper. But if portmap fails for some reason, pmap_set will complain and you get the above error. So it could be a problem with /etc/rpc. You don't really need RPC unless you're running a network and using it for NFS.

The interface problem is related. ypcall and RPC all relate back to the portmapper. If the portmapper isn't working, none of its dependencies.

RWALL(1)                                                    BSD General Commands Manual                                                   RWALL(1)

NAME

     rwall -- send a message to users logged on a host

SYNOPSIS

     rwall host [file]

DESCRIPTION

     The rwall command sends a message to the users logged into the specified host. The message to be sent can be typed in and terminated with EOF
     or it can be in a file.

DIAGNOSTICS

     rwall: RPC: Program not registered
             The rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Timed out
             A communication error occurred.  Either the network is excessively congested, or the rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has terminated on the
             remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
             The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ), and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
             down.

SEE ALSO

     wall(1), portmap(8), rpc.rwalld(8)

HISTORY

     The rwall command appeared in SunOS.
