Hello Raimund,
Let's keep this on the mailing list please.

Hallo Mark Geisert,
many thanks for your answer. I supposed this too.
I included in my source code the following function calls after clnt_create():
int fd = 0;
bool bool_ret = clnt_control(cl, CLGET_FD, &fd); if(bool_ret == true) {
printf("fd: %d\n", fd);
int enable = 1;
retval = setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &enable, sizeof(int));
if(retval < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "Fehler setsockopt(): %s\n", strerror(errno)); }
The function clnt_control() delivers the socket of the RPC-Client-Handle.
The result is the same as before. Moreover i think, the effect of setsockopt()
would be valid only during the process is running (my test scenarios 1 and 2).
But it wouldn't change anything regarding my test scenario 3 (several restarts).

I looked through the libtirpc source code and nowhere is SO_REUSEADDR being set.
You are on the right track with how to do it, but by the time clnt_create()
returns to you it is already too late. As far as I can tell there is no way to
get access to the socket between the time it's created within libtirpc and the
time it's made available to you by clnt_create().
I did try running your testcase (thanks for supplying that) but I don't have a
local machine running RPC services and don't wish to poke at random machines on
the Internet ;-). I had to compile it as so:
gcc -g -o test_rpc -I/usr/include/tirpc test_rpc.c -ltirpc
You are taking care to compile against the correct RPC-package includes and link
against the correct RPC-package libraries, yes?
Speculation: There might be a way to decompose what clnt_create() does into
other libtirpc functions that accomplish the same thing, but in smaller pieces
such that you could set the socket option before bind() is called. That would
be a fair amount of work though and given my cursory look at the source I don't
know if it's even possible.
