rpcbind and tcp_wrappers

[Rick Rauenzahn]

I am trying to get rpcbind and tcp_wrappers to work together. I got the source code for both from ftp.porcupine.org, compiled them, but the rpcbind is failing due to problems that it thinks are present in /etc/netconfig.

I have had to modify the source code for rpcbind to use shl_load, etc., rather than dlopen, etc., because the latter are only available now on 11.0 for 64-bit applications.

Has anyone been able to make this work? Apparently, my shl_load calls with the current state of /etc/newconfig is failing.

I got both (rpcbind & tcpwrappers) running here on 10.20 without problems. Are you using 11.x?

[Rick Rauenzahn]

Yes, Ralf, this is 11.0. The problem seems to be that dlopen(), dlclose(), etc., are only available for 64-bit hpux 11.0. Therefore, I had to substitute in shl_load, etc., for the dlopen and dlclose calls, and now rpcbind does not start. It apparently tries to read the /etc/netconfig file, tries to load the libraries listed in that file, and fails (shl_load fails).
