Hi I also have to dissagree with Steve Langasek (vorlon). If you use a command wrongly I do not see why it should supress the errormessages. Please apply the patch or this modified version after you have tested it.
I would like it as a default option and not to override or add to the custom options. I have not tested it yet, but it should be something like this: --- /etc/init/portmap.conf (0.2.0-7ubuntu1) 2012-05-23 11:06:40.755992557 +1200 +++ /etc/init/portmap.conf 2012-05-23 11:43:56.813215443 +1200 @@ -24,11 +24,15 @@ pre-start exec mkdir -p /run/rpcbind script - OPTIONS="-w" + if [ -e /run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr ] || \ + [ -e /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr ] ; then + OPTIONS="-w" + fi if [ -f /etc/default/rpcbind ]; then . /etc/default/rpcbind elif [ -f /etc/rpcbind.conf ]; then . /etc/rpcbind.conf fi exec rpcbind $OPTIONS end script Please apply some patch, it has gone almost a year now since first report and that is not so great I think.
