It appears that it could be a portmap replacement, but you'd need to poke the nfs-util ebuild to askign for it instead of portmap and hope rcpbind provides all the functionality you need. Since it's a 0.1.4 package I'm pretty sire you'll have an extra issue or two. kashani -- gentoo-server@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
