Hey Gordon (Copied you Jeff cause it pertains to your comments as well - thanks!)
1) Subsequent bindings to portmapper replace earlier ones... which means that while I can run an inetd on a single host, if I run it on two hosts, only the last one started functions for portmapper. 2) WHY bother doing this? From what I read of FAM, it will proxy FAM requests to a remote FAM server across NFS mounts... I have a cluster system that involves remote mapped NFS drives, so the IMAP server MAY be runing remotely from the real disk store - in this case, FAM will try to contact the remote FAM, which must be running on the same interface as the NFS mount points... Because of problem (1) above, I can't run portmap services on selected interfaces - it's all or one, not selected... so I thought "Fine - I'll run it on one interface" - my internal private network, but in that case, libfam on the local box has to be told to connect to portmapper / FAM on that interface not localhost... I'm working around it by firewalling all the other interfaces, but it would be easier if I could just specify the address to probe FAM on. Thanks for the brain-cycles. m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gordon Messmer Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 9:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [courier-users] Re: Courier with FreeBSD 4.8 & FAM - how do I know if FAM's working?

Is there a reason to continue running fam on your private interface, rather than localhost? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
