The source code to Sun's ONC RPC is freely available on the net so you
dissect the structures first hand, if that's what you're wanting to do.

One thing to be aware of when grabbing the ONC RPC sources from an archive
site:   The most recent release of Sun's RPC sources is TI-RPC 2.3.  You
might find archives containing RPC 4.0, but that's for are the older TS-RPC
library.

TS-RPC is transport specific and relies on sockets for its underlying
communications, while TI-RPC uses the TLI interface along with universal
addresses instead of sockaddr_in et al.

Both TI-RPC and TS-RPC are on-the-wire compatible so the packet structure
going across the net will be identical.

E-Mail me if you have some specific questions about it...

Howdy,

I need this information rather desperately - so please excuse the cross
posting.

If anybody has information (apart from the RFC's) on the packet structure of
ONC (Sun) RPC  - could you please help me out.
