Description Thomas J. Baker 2004-10-11 15:18:15 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041008
Firefox/0.10.1

Description of problem:
ypbind seems to bind to random ports. I've experienced this before on
Fedora but this is the first time I've noticed it on RHEL3:

[root@rccweb xinetd.d]# netstat -tanp | grep 995
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:995             0.0.0.0:*              
LISTEN 7174/ypbind
[root@rccweb xinetd.d]# ps -ef | grep ypbind
root      7174     1  0 Sep08 ?        00:00:15 ypbind
root     11093 11047  0 14:54 pts/6    00:00:00 grep ypbind
[root@rccweb xinetd.d]#



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ypbind-1.12-5

How reproducible:
Didn't try

You can specify the port ypbind bind to with the -p 
command line argument.
