Note to all: I am CCing this to mike wangsmo since he wanted examples
of poor QC on the part of redhat. (there are others, just look at the errata.
By the admission of others at redhat "there are things that should never
have gotten out the door." I think that was a quote.). There will always be
problems/mistakes but they should be fixed in a timely manor whenever possible.

The portmap rpm is broken and redhat refuses to fix it!!
Like many others on this list I had a perfectly working portmap
rpm until I upgraded. After upgrading the portmap service was not activated
at boot time. I have submitted this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and received the
automated answer but last time I looked no fix to the rpm (about 10
minutes ago).
There are several ways to fix your system (RedHat has to fix the rpm).
1. Run ntsysv and reactivate the portmap service. This will reactivate
the portmap service for the runlevel you are in.
2. Run chkconfig - level 345 portmap on. This will activate the portmap
service for runlevels 3, 4 and 5. If you want it activated for run levels other
than 3, 4, or 5 change the level arg accordingly.
3. Remake the symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc*.d by hand. If you do not know
what I am talking about use num. 1 or 2 above to fix the problem.
Reboot or start the portmapper. and all should be well.

Unix IS user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
