This is not special for dracd. If you ever read inetd.conf, a very common configuration file for configuring Internet services, you would probably have noticed. And if you ever used NFS or NIS, you would probably also have noticed. :-) Try "apropos rpc" one day. In FreeBSD -current, portmap doesn't exist either. It has been replaced by rpcbind. > I started portmap and it works great now. I also added: > > portmap_enable="YES" > > to my /etc/rc.conf. You might also mention that trick. As this is a general issue with RPC, I don't see the need for the drac port to document it. dracd is after all named "rpc.dracd" for a reason. Then again, do other people have an opinion here?
