Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

I've run LDM without portmapper/rpcbind given they are both ginormous security risks. It delays the startup/shutdown and other admin functions since LDM tries to RPC but fails, then it tries again, etc...until it figures out it is never going to work and defaults to 388 and everything works fine afterwards. Personally, I'd rather see it assume 388 and fall back to portmapper/rpcbind in the event of 388 failure, but that's just me :)
Actually, Steve E wrote to me off-list and indicated that this is exactly how it works. Change in the code at some point??
I'd still like to disable it. :-) -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws@xxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?
