The portmap package is a more secure replacement for the original SUN portmap package. Portmap is used to forward rpc requests to rpc daemons such as NFS and NIS.
portmap depends on: tcpwrappers-7.6 |
Install portmap with the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../portmap_5-1.diff && mkdir /usr/share/doc/portmap && make && make install |
patch -Np1 -i ../portmap_5-1.diff : This patch provides added security for the portmap package, including only allowing portmap table changes from the local host.
mkdir /usr/share/doc/portmap : This directory must be created before installation.

The portmap package contains portmap, pmap_dump and pmap_set.
portmap is the rpc port mapper.
pmap_dump saves the port mapping table to an ascii file.
pmap_set restores the port mapping table from an ascii file.
