Created attachment 620313 [details] Set socket option SO_REUSEADDR Description of problem: When another machine or device queries port 111 portmapper is killed, upon restarting it responds with the error: cannot bind udp: Address already in use Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): portmap-4.0-65.2.2.1.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) on terminal A: service portmap start 2) on terminal B: telnet localhost 111 3) on terminal A: service portmap restart Actual results: - portmap gets killed - telnet session gets closed - portmap can not be restarted: "cannot bind udp: Address already in use" Expected results: portmap restarts properly Additional info: - Trying to start portmap manually fails as well. - netstat does not show any port 111 in use. If you wait to issue the portmap start it will eventually start due to a timeout # netstat -np | grep 111 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:111 127.0.0.1:50306 TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 192.168.130.11:56334 192.168.130.11:111 TIME_WAIT - Note that the error message mentions UDP, telnet uses TCP. This is actually a copy/paste error in the portmap sources. On an error while binding the TCP-socket, the message mentions UDP wrongly. Attached patch sets the socket option SO_REUSEADDR (man 7 socket). This should allow portmap to bind to the address that is kept in-use by the TIME_WAIT.
