Team:

we are running redhat and when i do rpcinfo -p it just hangs. It used to work before but now it hangs. what are the files/processes i shd look into? will a reboot help?

i tried service portmap start and it did not help

Thanks

Run rpcinfo -p on the server itself. What happens? Some firewall configuration may prevent the connection.

Use tcpdump or netstat to check the packets flow.

First of all I believe that a reboot will help.
Before doing that:
Is it possible that you've mounted some folder via NFS?
It could be the issue.If a remote NFS server reboots or stops serving such behavior can occur.
