Hi ! A few weeks ago, I've upgraded an old Woody NFS server to Sarge, and portmapper problems started: sometimes 'rpcinfo -p' is stuck as portmap waits for the recvmsg() call to return.
Here's my very sub-optimal workaround: adding the following line to /etc/crontab to send UDP packets to portmap.
* * * * * nobody rpcinfo -u localhost 100003 >/dev/null IMHO, I think that the bug is in the glibc, since portmap uses the glibc rpc functions to receive packets.
