Hi all,*
I want to map an NFS share from a remote server to a local CentOS 5.4 server, but have a problem with portmap:
root@mercury:[~]$ service portmap restartpmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer

Stopping portmap: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *[FAILED]Starting portmap: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *[ *OK *]root@mercury:[~]$ service portmap statusportmap dead but subsys locked

root@mercury:[~]$

What is "subsys", and how do I "unlock it"?


/var/log/messages gives me this:


Feb *3 13:44:23 mercury portmap[2221]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use

Which address is it referring to? Portmap isn't running so I don't see how it can be in use. Or should I be looking for the problem elsewhere?*


Google search results sugested opening port 111 in the firewall, which I have, but still get the error. And I cannot, at any costs, reboot this server. So, is there a way to fix this?--
Kind Regards

The first thing I would
do is to see if there is something running on the portmap port:


*


# netstat -ap --inet


*


Check for sunrpc (which
is the service name associated with the portmapper, as listed in
/etc/services).

Check if there is lock file for portmap under /var/run and remove it
and try again.

Use also netstat -lp --ip to check if portmap is already running.

Thanx Geoff
Should it be running, or not?

root@mercury:[~]$ netstat -ap --inet | grep rpc

It looks like you need to
deconfigure portsentry from listening on that port and then you should be good
to go.* IOW, portsentry is ok to run, but not on your portmapper port when you
need to run portmapper.
