Name
       portmap - DARPA internet port to RPC program number mapper

Syntax
       /usr/etc/rpc.portmap

Description
       The  daemon  converts RPC program numbers into DARPA protocol port num‐
       bers.  When an RPC server starts, it tells the daemon what TCP  or  UDP
       port  number  it	 is  listening on, and what RPC program numbers it can
       serve.

       The daemon must be invoked before attempting to run  any	 RPC  service.
       It  must be running in order to use any RPC-based applications, includ‐
       ing the NFS mount daemon, When a client makes an RPC call  to  a	 given
       program number, the RPC program first contacts the daemon on the server
       machine to determine the port number where  the	RPC  packets  will  be
       sent.

       The  control  file  specifies which YP clients are permitted to request
       maps.  You must configure the file to reflect the domains where	it  is
       installed.  See the Release Notes for more information.

       If crashes, you must restart all servers.
