>Description:
if /usr/local is automounted via am-utils, it will
hang when accesing a client's portmapper returning
Program not registered
or in plainer english, when the client is not running mountd.
amd will now try, via strerror, to further report the error
which, when compiled with NLS - the default - will call
catopen(), which will search for catalogs in ...:/usr/local/...:
which will trigger a 'call' to amd, but amd is now hung trying
to print the error ...
>How-To-Repeat:
have /usr/local automounted then,
ls /net/some-host-not-running-mountd
>Fix:
- use am-utils's supplied strerror.c
BTW, we have been using am-utils 6.2a3 which has
several important bug fixes, so I suggest importing
that version into the base.
