Subject: [PATCH] linux.cf: add libtirpc support. Disabled by default.
Currently on Linux, you must run rpcbind in insecure mode (-i) in
order for ttsession to register with rpcbind (the portmapper). This
is because, on most systems, libc contains an older sun-based rpc
library embedded within it. The sun-rpc code does not know how to
authenticate with rpcbind when run as a non-privileged user.
Using libtirpc, ttsession can register with rpcbind without requiring
it to be run in insecure mode. You must have the libtirpc-dev, or
equivalent package installed to use it.
If you want to try this:
- install libtirpc-dev or equivalent
- if your rpcbind process is already running in insecure mode (-i
option), remove that option and restart it.
- edit config/host.def, (create if it doesn't exist) and add:
#define HasTIRPCLib YES
- rebuild CDE (make World). It's probably a good idea to remove
/usr/dt/* beforehand to avoid contamination.
Some linux systems seem to incorporate tirpc directly into libc (as
all of the BSD's do AFAIK) so this may not be needed.
I know that at least on Ubuntu systems defining HasTIRPCLib to YES is
required in order to run rpcbind without -i.
