portmap fails on bootup

crashbox · 2007-04-04 03:04:55

not sure why but until i upgraded to .8 portmap was running fine and now on every bootup portmap fails to start, ive check all the log files i know to check and there is nothing in there about portmap. Please help

Run /sbin/portmap in a terminal as root and see if there's an error response.

when i try to start portmap from sbin nothing happens, but when i go into my rc.d directory and type "./portmap start" shows the same as when im booting... starting portmap [FAIL]. hope that helps you all because i have no idea where to look or what to do to resolve this issue

Same issue here. All of a sudden too. Since I'm running testing I figure it's some kind of conflict with an update.I have been blindly updating the past few weeks.

[scott@black ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/portmap start
:: Starting Portmap                                                      [FAIL] 
[scott@black ~]$ sudo /sbin/portmap
[scott@black ~]$

I'm sure it'll eventually work itself out. Or, I'll find the cure. Either way I'll post back.

Well it was a bonehead move on my part. My NFS issues turned out to be hostname related. The issue with portmap not starting "seems" to have been cured by putting it before netfs in the DAEMONS array. As per the wiki. Strange that I never had it this way before and NFS always worked fine. Who knows. Maybe a new thing with the new testing Kernel?
