You did > say that hosts.deny was clean? Aha! I was running 'rpcinfo -p' exactly as written. 'rpcinfo -p localhost' is failing saying localhost is unknown. Similarly 'rpcinfo -p 127.0.0.1' fails with a networking error. Checking the output of 'ifconfig -a' seems to reveal that while the local loopback interface is up, it does not have an IP address. I gave it the address of 127.0.0.1 and tried to run rpc.statd again, and it appears to start without failing! Hopefully that will be the end of my issues. Many thanks and best regards, Oliver.
