To all,

	I've got a situation where I have a Jumpstart server and some
clients on the same network.  While attempting to jumpstart the clients, I
have some non-Sun systems (PCs running NT and OS2) attempting to respond
to the "whoami" request from the client.  I suspect that the "whoami"
request is RPC in nature and would like to know what port number it is
attempting to use.  The rpc.bootparamd daemon on the Jumpstart Server
normally listens to the request and send the hostname that the client is
assigned to the client.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Any info would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne  --
