> inetd should have been able to bind the write port
So, assuming we stick to the approach of starting inetd before rpcbind
to solve this problem, there are two problems we have to fix:
* Sun ships with rc2.d/S71rpc before rc2.d/S72inetsvc
* We start the athena inetd from rc2.d/S90athena, which is way
after S71rpc
There is a potential third problem, that some inetd services may not
run correctly between the time inetd starts and rpcbind starts, and
some clients might behave inappropriate on this kind of failure. I
doubt that will ever be an issue, though.
Finding a solution to the problem that does the minimum amount of
violence to /etc/rc2.d and doesn't break anything will take some
analysis, and I don't guarantee that it will happen in time for the
8.1 release if the task is left to me.
