This is an RPC portmapper that prevents theft of NIS (YP), NFS,
|
|
and other sensitive information via the portmapper. As an option,
|
|
the program supports access control in the style of the tcp wrapper
|
|
(log_tcp) package.
|
|
|
|
Daemons that offer RPC services tell the portmapper on what port
|
|
they listen. And clients asks the portmapper what port the daemon
|
|
is using. RPC network port numbers may change each time the system
|
|
is booted.
|
|
|
|
This is Wietse Venema's fourth replacement portmapper. It is
|
|
derived from source code in the RPCSRC 4.0 and the TIRPC source
|
|
distributions.
