Configuring RPC-based Services
This section describes the following tasks:
• Enabling Other RPC Services
• Restricting Access to RPC-based Services
Enabling Other RPC Services
1. In the /etc/inetd.conf file, use a text editor to uncomment the
entries that begin with “rpc”.
Following is the list of entries in an /etc/inetd.conf file:
#rpc stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rpc.rexd 100017 1
rpc.rexd
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd
100001 2-4 rpc.rstatd
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rusers/rpc.rusersd
100002 1-2 rpc.rusersd
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rwall/rpc.rwalld
100008 1 rpc.rwalld
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.quotad 100011 1
rpc.quotad
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd
100012 1 rpc.sprayd
#rpc xti ticotsord swait root /usr/lib/netsvc/gss/gssd
100234 1 gssd
2. Enter the following command to force inetd to read its configuration
file:
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
CAUTION Do not issue the /usr/sbin/inetd command if NFS is not yet running
on the client system. The NFS.core startup script starts the rpcbind
process, which must be running before you configure inetd to manage
RPC-based services.
