After restart, do this:

Code:
netstat -anp |grep portmap

You should see something like this:
Code:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      1656/portmap
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*                               1656/portmap

Then try to telnet port 111:
Code:
telnet localhost 111

If you get a connection refused or some such, check your networking and firewall settings again. If you get connected, close the connection and we'll go to the next step.

Hi Otheus,
At first thanks for this much of help.
by the way i did these steps...

1): Restarted the portmap service
Code:
[root@kickstart-server ~]# service portmap restart
Stopping portmap:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting portmap:                                          [  OK  ]
Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out
not registered:     100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
[root@kickstart-server ~]#

2): This step was OK as you assist :
[root@kickstart-server ~]# netstat -anp |grep portmap
Code:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      9706/portmap
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*                               9706/portmap

3): Telnet was being stuck after this with the err Connection closed by foreign host.
although i have disabled firewall setting.

[root@kickstart-server ~]# telnet localhost 111
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'

That's CORRECT behavior for telnet (step 3) in this set of circumstances.


Edit /etc/init.d/portmap so that the second line reads:

Code:
set -x

It would be nice if you post the output as an attachment. It will be quite lengthy. In the web form for this board, click "Go Advanced" and then "Manage Attachments" to see how to upload a text file.

Once again, add "set -x" to the top of the file, and re-run it. Paste the OUTPUT of the command as an attachment Smilie

the good news: that's what I expected. The bad news: I have no idea what's causing pmap_set to fail.
