critical impact:

xdr_pmap* functions - available in a different library (CrCh182)

Problem description

The xdr_pmap and xdr_pmaplist functions exist on Tru64 UNIX as part of libc. They do not exist on HP-UX as part of libc.

The xdr_pmap and xdr_pmaplist functions are part of the PORTMAP process, used to convert RPC program numbers to DARPA protocol port numbers. This process has been replaced by the new rpcbind process that converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses. The portmap library routines have been moved to libnsl.

Solution description

There are two possible solutions. Either re-link the application to libnsl.so or change the software to use the new rpcbind routines.

For xdr_pmap and xdr_pmaplist functionality, use rpcb_getmaps. To link with libnsl.so, use the -lnls compiler flag and include the rpc/pmap_prot.h header file.
