>Organization:
Parodius Networking
>Environment:
FreeBSD eos.parodius.com 6.1-RC FreeBSD 6.1-RC #0: Sun Apr 23 17:10:37 PDT 2006     root@eos.parodius.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EOS  i386
>Description:
	This appears to be a repeat of the situation in PR 73865,
	except for 6.1.  It appears 6.1 does something different...

	When starting rpcbind with a kernel that lacks INET6 support,
	even despite NO_INET6=true being in make.conf, users are shown
	the following:

Apr 23 17:51:12 eos rpcbind: cannot get information for udp6
Apr 23 17:51:12 eos rpcbind: cannot get information for tcp6

	Possibly the problem is within libc, because rpcbind relies on
	the libc call __rpc_nconf2sockinfo() to determine whether or
	not to spit out the above warning message?

	What I'm trying to say is using NOINET6 on FreeBSD 5.x fixes
	this, while using NO_INET6 on FreeBSD 6.x does not.

	Details of commits to rpcbind recently:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/rpcbind/#dirlist
>How-To-Repeat:
	`/etc/rc.d/rpcbind start` on a system which lacks INET6 support
	in the kernel.
>Fix:
	None at this time.
