Very Computer

I'm using a SIEMENS MX300/60 with SINIX SystemV/386 Release 5.40 Version N12.
I want to use RPC and start rpcbind (good old portmap on SUN & BSD :-))
This thing immediatly stops with the message :
        rpcbind: could not find loopback transports.
I can do a telnet connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) without any problems,
and netstat -i nows the lo0 interface on loopback and has Ipkts and Opkts
due to telnet.

Can some give me a good hint where to start looking for the problem?

P.S. Not to many RTFM please, the docs are in German and it's only the
4th language I speak.

Mike.

A.   Your actual hostname as returned by "uname -n" doesn't agree
     with the hostnames in /etc/net/tic[lo]ts[ord]/hosts, and these
     files need to be changed.
2.   You don't have the loopback transports (ticlts, ticots, and ticotsord)
     installed on your system.
III. They're installed, but not configured into your kernel.
D.   They're installed and configured in, but not listed in /etc/netconfig.

Hope this helps.
