Hello, Thanks for the suggestions. The combination of checking /etc/network/interfaces and verifying that rpcbind was listening on 127.0.0.1 led me in the right direction, and boy do I feel silly...
Somehow, my interfaces file was missing the loopback entry, so the loopback interface showed in the "ifconfig" output but it wasn't actually up. I added these lines: auto lo iface lo inet loopback Then, after "ifup lo", everything just worked. I think I wrote the interfaces file from scratch and copied it over the original, and of course, I didn't include the loopback interface. *Sigh*. Thanks again! - Dave On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 9:52 PM, Tom H <tomh0...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 3:02 PM, Bob Proulx <b...@proulx.com> wrote: > > David Parker wrote: > >> > >> I have confirmed that rpc.statd is running, which I believe is the port > >> mapper in newer distributions. > > > > AFAIK rpc.statd is not a portmapper replacement.
