| portmap-6.0 is the first release in 10 year of portmap based on the code | |
| from Wietse Venema. | |
| It consolidates patches that various Linux distributions were shipping | |
| with their versions of portmap, and add some more functionality. | |
| This version is currently maintained by | |
| Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> | |
| and can be found at | |

| There is no "./configure", just use "make". | |
| Some make variable can be used to control compilation. | |
| NO_TCP_WRAPPER= if non-empty, doen't use tcp_wrappers | |
| USE_DNS= if set, tcp_wrappers can check peers based on hostname | |
| as well as IP address. This should only be used if you | |
| are certain that gethostbyname will never trigger a | |
| called to portmap (as it might if 'nis' is used for hostnames). | |
| RPCUSER= is set, portmap will use getpwnam to find the user for | |
| that user, and will setuid to that user before listening | |
| for incoming messages | |
| DAEMON_UID= Can be set to a number to override the default UID | |
| to setuid to. Default is '1'. | |
| DAEMON_GID= As above, but for setgid. | |
