Comment (by ken@…):
This is really doing my head in :-(
First, I can't find what changed to require /etc/netconfig. The manpage
netconfig.5 comes from rpcinfo, but it did in 0.2.2 as well as current
rpcinfo-0.2.3. I was previously using nfs-utils-1.2.5, the code in that
and 1.2.7 refers to /etc/netconfig in all the same places. I did find non-
recent distro references where people have needed it on linux (apparently,
it used to come from, or get packaged in, libtirpc on Mandriva in 2009 -
packager dropped it because he thought it wasn't needed). Will add it (for
nfs clients).
Second, there is a testsuite but it doesn't work [ and needs to be run as
root, while statd is not working ] - it ought to detect that statd is
already runnng, but instead it fails.
Stepping through it (_with_ nfs working) the problem code is
{{{
start_statd() {
rpcinfo -u 127.0.0.1 status 1 &> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "***ERROR***: statd is already running and should "
echo " be down when starting this test"
return 1
fi
$srcdir/../utils/statd/statd --no-notify
}
}}}
Running that rpcinfo command without backgrounding it or discarding the
output, I get:
{{{
#rpcinfo -u 127.0.0.1 status 1
rpcinfo: RPC: Unknown host
program 100024 version 1 is not available
}}}
That's *far* too much to summarise in the XML, I'll just label it as
"does not have a working test suite".
