Make the function more safe to use with NIS, i.e. the call to getrpcbynumner(), and particularly when the NIS domain is set, but ypbind hasn't yet registrered itself with portmap or are about to register itself with portmap. This (serious) problem occurs only when portmap is run with logging turned on, which probably accounts for why no one has done anything about it before. Take a look at PR bin/73422 for more details about this problem with portmap, ypbind and rc.network. Please don't hesitate about contacting me if you need more information. Btw, the same problem is present in FreeBSD 5.x. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 4.8-S & Pine 4.55
