rpc port

[Camel_1]

Hi there,

A 3rd party vendor application will be installed into one of our development server HP11i. The application will using the dynamic port for client access thru rpc, is there any way I can limit/assign a particular port for their RPC program?

Thanks,

Simon

I don't think so, that is what the portmapper is for. It handles the RPC service # to port mapping. The RPC service #'s are mapped to names in /etc/rpc but that probably won't help.

That being said, I did see the NFS port numbers in /etc/services, so the portmapper may use that to get the port number for a service. You could add the service to /etc/rpc and /etc/services to see if it maps using your settings.

HTH.

Try setting RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS ?
