Are there any known vulnerabilities in portmap (redhat''s portmap-4.0-7b)? I''ve been receiving a lot of attempts to access the portmap port on some linuxppc machines I administer by various machines which clearly have no business with mine, and I wonder if this is an attempt to break in to my machines. I''ve searched some archives, but I haven''t yet found any

Hi all, I want to map an NFS share from a remote server to a local CentOS 5.4 server, but have a problem with portmap: root at mercury:[~]$ service portmap restart pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer Stopping portmap: [FAILED] Starting portmap: [ OK ] root at

I don't know if this is RedHat 5.1 specific, but be aware that the version of portmap distributed is the enhanced (Wietse Venema) version. That's great, except for two things. The first is documented, but easy to overlook: "In order to avoid deadlocks, the portmap program does not attempt to look up the remote host name or user name...The upshot of all this is that only network

Anybody else noticed this: debug: package provider yum: Executing ''/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 list available portmap'' err: //nfs_server/Package[portmap]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not get latest version: Execution of ''/usr/bin/ yum -d 0 -e 0 list availaSearching 100% | =========================| 16 kB 00:03 Error: No

Hi there, when I try to start the nmbd -D daemon on my OpenServer5.0.5 box, I'll get the errormessage in log.nmbd: [...] [2002/03/12 19:30:18, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:(783) Netbios nameserver version 2.2.3a started.

CentOS 5 updated, Xen host. The portmap on this machine is somehow "stuck" and I can't figure out why. I enabled it to be able to mount a remote nfs share. The first hurdle was that "portmap" didn't appear in the chkconfig list, it was installed with the initial packages but not added to chkconfig. Took me a while to figure this out. Adding and starting it up is no

I am running Redhat 6.1 as a firewall between a cable modem and my home network. Occasionally, I see messages such as these under /var/log/messages: Jan 17 13:38:16 saturn5 portmap[3726]: connect from 24.28.77.200 to dump(): request from unauthorized host Jan 18 14:00:34 saturn5 portmap[1544]: connect from 204.151.148.146 to dump(): request from unauthorized host My assumption is that the

Hi all I have a CentOS 5.1 server running Xen and recently installed ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) on the main node to give it some protection. On a daily basis I''m getting an email about portmap. haldeamon and xfs consumming too much resources. The main node, dom0 doesn''t even do anything, and everything is done on the domU''s Here''s a thread I''ve

Im trying to install nfs on my server. i tried to do apt-get install nfs nfs-lock portmap. but portmap is the only one available.

Greetings I'm running an NIS server that I would very much *not* want to be accessible on some of its interfaces. portmap can be instructed to bind to specific addresses using the -h flag, but this seems to break ypbind. ypbind will attempt to find a server by issuing a broadcast rpc request to the local network. When portmap is not bound to INADDR_ANY, it will not reply to these requests.

Hi, I'm trying to run an internal application from where I work on wine. The application uses a lot of COM components and multiple threads. But when running it, it seems to hang pretty quickly. I added the output from wine below, from what I understand, it's stopping and waiting on a lock, using CoGetCurrentLogicalThreadId that is not implemented. I'm just starting to use wine, so I

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions: 1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally

Hello everyone, I am using pxelinux to boot kernel from network, which goes ok. But when root must be mounted from NFS, I get the following code: Looking up port 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error 22 portmap: RPC call returned error 22 ROOT-NFS: unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error

I have two RHEL4 email servers running postfix/MailScanner which use dovecot. They work great. But during bootup the nfslock script in my init.d loads rpc.statd and calls portmap to get a port number. Portmap keeps giving rpc.statd the imaps port number (993). I then have to stop my mail server services, manually start dovecot, then restart the mail server services and everything goes merrily on

Hi, we have a new fileserver running on X4275 hardware with Solaris 10U8. On this fileserver we created one test dir with quota and mounted these on another Solaris 10 system. Here the quota command didnot show the used quota. Does this feature only work with OpenSolaris or is it intended to work on Solaris 10? Here what we did on the server: # zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/home2

Hi all, I have setup a CentOS6.3 x86_64 host to act as a nfs server. According to RHEL6 docs, portmap is not needed when you use NFSv4, but in my host I need to start rpcbind service to make NFSv4 works. My /etc/sysconfig/nfs # # Define which protocol versions mountd # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes" # with yes being the default MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"

After getting a reasonably configured NFS4 setup working on my Scientific Linux server, I spent a majority of my evening trying to do the same with my Centos 5 box, with fruitless results. Most attempts to mount that server returns the following message: [root at sl01 log]# mount -t nfs4 192.168.15.200:/opt/company_data /mnt mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted As nearest as I can tell, I was

Hello all, I have been doing some searching for information about disabling services within a CentOS 5.5 install. I have found a few different opinions, and wanted to ask for some feedback. First off, the system is running a LAMP stack to serve a web application. It will only be doing email to send occasional messages out (sent via the application only). It will not be receiving email for any
