NAME

       rpcbind - universal addresses to RPC program number mapper

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       is  a  server that converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses.  It must be running on the host to be able to make RPC calls on a
       server on that machine.

       When an RPC service is started, it tells the address at which it is listening, and the RPC program numbers it is prepared to serve.  When a
       client  wishes  to  make  an RPC call to a given program number, it first contacts on the server machine to determine the address where RPC
       requests should be sent.

       should be started before any other RPC service.	Normally, standard RPC servers are started by port monitors, so  must  be  started  before
       port monitors are invoked.

       When  is  started,  it  checks  that certain name-to-address translation calls function correctly.  If they fail, the network configuration
       databases may be corrupt.  Since RPC services cannot function correctly in this situation, reports the condition and terminates.

       can only be started by the super-user.

   Options

	      Run in debug mode.
			In this mode, will not fork when it starts, will print additional information during operation, and will abort on  certain

	      Do a warm start.

			operation without requiring all RPC services to be restarted.

WARNINGS

       Terminating with will prevent the warm-start files from being written.

       All  RPC  servers  must be restarted if the following occurs: crashes (or is killed with and is unable to to write the warm-start files; is
