in src/lib/libc/rpc/get_myaddress.c determines it's own address by finding the first "UP" interface. I have a setup where my point-to-point interface lp0 is always up, but there may be nothing in the other end. Since our p-to-p if's do not register a route for their local address, you can only contact the local-end address when there is a machine in the other end. This means that mountd (for instance) will fail to contact the portmapper... Why on earth does the rpc code not use 127.0.0.1 ??? -- Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@login.dknet.dk> -- TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
