# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| rpcbind: rpcbind (a daemon to manage RPC connections) rpcbind: rpcbind: This is a network daemon used to manage connections to RPC services. rpcbind: It is meant as a replacement for the 'rpc.portmap' server from the rpcbind: 'portmap' package. Daemons that offer RPC services (such as the rpcbind: daemons for NFS) tell the rpcbind on what port they listen. rpcbind: RPC network port numbers may change each time the system is booted. rpcbind: rpcbind: This package is required to use NFS or other RPC services. rpcbind: rpcbind: Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpcbind/
