A stupid but non FAQ question:
Where are rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd for NFS mounting?  I am sure these
are not included in the slackware distribution.  Any help, flame will be well
accepted.

RPC based services require portmapper to function. (I can't think of
where this is written however) The man page for rstat does give some
clues though. The Trans-ameritech CD had rstat source and a kernel patch
with some instructions. The unclear thing about rstatd is that it has to
run in the background or the boot hangs when rstatd is invoked.

Hmmm......

From rstat(1):
 rstat: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

              The remote host is not running the portmapper  (see
              portmap(8c)),  and  cannot accomodate any RPC-based
              services.  The host may be down.

SEE ALSO
       portmap(8c), rstat_svc(8c)

On my system they are located in /usr/sbin and are started in
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet2.  I have Slackware 1.2 from Linux Systems Labs.

I found out about about this too. I booted with the install disks & fixed
the problem. RTFM'ers beware... Not everything is documented. And if it is
documented, is isn't always documented well. Trial & error seems to be the
UNIX way!

Flame on ya! Naw... just kidding. My Slackware 1.2.0 put them into /usr/sbin.

I have slackware 2.0... They are in /usr/sbin . A funny thing about the
RTFM attitude... After much*ering, I finially got perfmeter to work.
rstatd could only be run after portmap was running. I read many manpages
& stuff. Nowhere was this mentioned. I found it by chance. And this is the
reason I love unix...

1. How to use rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd?

[Q2] Stupid but non-FAQ NFS question #2:
Thanks for the help of finding out the rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, rcp.nfsd.  
Still, after reading the NFS-FAQ, Linux Network Admin Guide, none of these guys
seem to work at all.  I still get the message of RPC fault: program is not
registered.  I guess I really need a cookbook example.

Let's say I have machines A and B which both of them can telnet and ftp to each
other.  In other words, they are properly connected.  Now, this is how I did.
I add three statements at the begninning of the rc.inet2 at machine A:

/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
/bin/mount -t nfs B:/home /mnt

Then, I add /mnt B[rw] at /etc/exports at machine A.
Then, reboot machine A, and it prompts RPC fault: program is not registered.
Can anyone provide me an idiot-proof way of attacking this?  Thanks.
BTW, someone mention "premeter".  What is that?
