I have typed in the source code of rls (remote directory list) from the book
"Power programming with RPC" and run it under FreeBSD successfully.
But I can not get the rls server registered with inetd so that it can be
started *automatically* during bootup. What I have done is as follows:
(1) Use the -I option on rpcgen to generate inetd compatible server code:
> rpcget -I rls.x (I wonder if -I is only used for SunOS)
(2) Modify the file /etc/inetd.conf to contain the following line:
rls/1 stream rpc/tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rls_svc rls_svc
where 1 in the version number.
(3) Modify the file /etc/rpc to contain the following line:
rls 20000001
where 20000001 in the program number of the rls.
However, when I type "./rls host-address directory" on a client machine, it
response "RPC: program not registered".
I even modify the file /etc/defaults/rc.conf to set inetd_flags to be "-d"
(debug). This makes sure that inetd does register rls during bootup. After
bootup, the "rpcinfo -p localhost" on server also shows rls is there.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Thanks a lot.
