I have a problem: The machine on which the ypserv runs (a Sun) goes down for dumps every night, when it restarts ypserv comes up on another port. Now the code in ypbind isn't detecting this. I have a fix, but I am not sure it is the right thing to do, so it would be nice if whoever is working on this could drop me a note. (Also while digging in this I found an old article that describes a patch for lib/libc/rpc/udp_clnt.c by Casper H.S. Dik that picks up ICMP dst unreachable messages and delivers them to the RPC layer, this much improves on timeouts when you are trying to do RPC to a port that isn't there anymore. Is anyone interested in this?) /Sebastian ----------------------------------------------------------- Sebastian Strollo Computer Science Lab Phone: +46 8 727 3549 Ellemtel Utvecklings AB Fax : +46 8 647 82 76 Box 1505 S-125 25 ALVSJO email: seb@erix.ericsson.se SWEDEN -----------------------------------------------------------
