PMAP_DUMP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PMAP_DUMP(8)NAME
pmap_set -- set the list of registered RPC programs
SYNOPSIS
pmap_set
DESCRIPTION
The pmap_set command can be used to restart a running portmapper or to set the list of registered RPC programs on the local host. If you want
to use the program to restart the portmapper you have to redirect the output of to a file. After this you can restart the portmapper and
restore the list of the registered RPC programs by feeding the output of to the pmap_set command.

RPCINFO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RPCINFO(8)NAME
rpcinfo -- report RPC information
SYNOPSIS
rpcinfo -p [host]
rpcinfo [-n portnum] -u host program [version]
rpcinfo [-n portnum] -t host program [version]
rpcinfo -b program version
rpcinfo -d program version
DESCRIPTION
rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.
OPTIONS -p Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of all registered RPC programs. If host is not specified, it defaults to the value
returned by hostname(1).
-u Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host using UDP, and report whether a response was received.
-t Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host using TCP, and report whether a response was received.
-n Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options instead of the port number given by the portmapper.
-b Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.
-d Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program and version. This option can be exercised only by the super-user.
The program argument can be either a name or a number.
If a version is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version of the specified program. Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the reg-
istered version numbers for the specified program by calling version 0 (which is presumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to
obtain this information by calling an extremely high version number instead) and attempts to call each registered version. Note: the version
number is required for -b and -d options.
EXAMPLES
To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine use:
example% rpcinfo -p
To show all of the RPC services registered on the machine named klaxon use:
example% rpcinfo -p klaxon
To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages service use:
example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq
where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the results of the -p switch above.
To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld service use:
example% rpcinfo -d walld 1

BUGS
In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo cannot be used to make RPC
calls to the NFS server on hosts running such releases.
