How to check that rpcbind/portmap on AIX allowes updates from non privileged ports?
Hi,
I am trying to implement a service on AIX based on ONCRPC protocal and I want to use a RPC library called oncrpc4j because it is a non-blocked i/o library. I found it works fine on my work machine (WIndows 7) but failed on my AIX work station. The author of oncrpc4j told me that check that rpcbind/portmap on AIX allowes updates from non privileged ports. But I just can find out how to do this, is anybody could provide help? Thank you.

Hello, i need a script (bash type maybe?..), which would check open ports on 127.0.0.1 and then compare open ports with "registered/allowed" port list and try to kill the program who uses unregistered ports. It would be great that script would be started lets say every 5 or 10 minutes.

Hi All,
I've been using this to verify if ports is open on a server. For example I would like to check port 5887, "telnet ip.of.server 5887" using on dos. If there's response on it then I can say it's open, if not then it's close.
Is that assumption accurate?

Hello,
what is the relation between portmap and nfsd and how communication between them looks like. Does the nfsclient contact with the portmap or nfsd first.

Wasn't sure how to word the title... sorry.
In HP-UX and AIX specifically you apply a set of patches, not like solaris and linux where you update what's needed individually. So, for example, when going from patch level 1.1 to 1.8 is the time to complete exponential (1.1 -> 1.2 -> 1.3.. so on)... (1 Reply)

PORTMAP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PORTMAP(8)
NAME
portmap -- RPC program,version to DARPA port mapper
SYNOPSIS
portmap [-d] [-v] [-h bindip]
DESCRIPTION
Portmap is a server that converts RPC program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls.
When an RPC server is started, it will tell portmap what port number it is listening to, and what RPC program numbers it is prepared to
serve. When a client wishes to make an RPC call to a given program number, it will first contact portmap on the server machine to determine
the port number where RPC packets should be sent.
Portmap must be started before any RPC servers are invoked.
Portmap uses hosts_access(5) access control by default. Access control patterns may only reference IP addresses.
Normally portmap forks and dissociates itself from the terminal like any other daemon. Portmap then logs errors using syslog(3).
The following options are available:
-d Prevent portmap from running as a daemon, and causes errors and debugging information to be printed to the standard error output.
-v Enable verbose logging of access control checks.
-h Specify specific IP addresses to bind to for UDP requests. This option may be specified multiple times and is typically necessary
when running on a multi-homed host. If no -h option is specified, portmap will bind to INADDR_ANY, which could lead to problems on a
multi-homed host due to portmap returning a UDP packet from a different IP address than it was sent to. Note that when specifying IP
addresses with -h, portmap will automatically add 127.0.0.1 to the list.
SEE ALSO
hosts_access(5), inetd.conf(5), inetd(8), rpcinfo(8)
BUGS
If portmap crashes, all servers must be restarted.
HISTORY
The portmap command appeared in 4.3BSD.
