Prepare rpcbind by running the following commands:
There should be a dedicated user and group to take control
of the rpcbind daemon after it is started.
Issue the following commands as the root user:
groupadd -g 28 rpc
useradd -c "RPC Bind Daemon Owner" -d /dev/null -g rpc \
-s /bin/false -u 28 rpcIn order to get rpcbind to work properly, first fix the package to use correct service name:
sed -i "/servname/s:rpcbind:sunrpc:" src/rpcbind.c
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/usr/sbin \
--enable-warmstarts \
--with-rpcuser=rpcNow Build rpcbind, issue:
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now Install rpcbind, as the root user:
make install
--with-rpcuser=rpc:
This switch is used so the rpcbind daemon will
run as an unprivileged user instead of the root user.
