__DESCRIPTION__ |

Portmap is a server that converts RPC program |
| |
|
15 |
numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It |
| |
|
16 |
must be running in order to make RPC |
| |
|
17 |
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. |

|
23 |
Portmap must be started before any RPC |
| |
|
24 |
servers are invoked. |

Normally portmap forks and dissociates itself from the ter- |
| |
|
28 |
minal like any other daemon. Portmap then logs errors using |
| |
|
29 |
syslog(3). |

Option available: |
| |
|
33 |
-d (debug) prevents portmap from running as a daemon,and causes errors and debugging information to beprinted to the standard error output. |

-v(verbose) run portmap in verbose mode.This portmap version is protected by the tcp_wrapperlibrary. You have to give the clients access to portmap ifthey should be allowed to use it. To allow connects fromclients of the .bar.com domain you could use the followingline in /etc/hosts.allow:portmap: .bar.comYou have to use the daemon name portmap for the daemon name(even if the binary has a different name). For the clientnames you can only use the keyword ALL or IP addresses (NOThost or domain names).For further information please have a look at the tcpd(8), hosts_allow(5) and hosts_access(5) manual pages. |
