From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20050104 Red Hat/1.4.3-3.0.7 Description of problem: During boot time, portmapper crashes when remote clients contact the portmapper at a rate faster than 4 times per second. While initiating many rpcinfo -p host requests, the portmapper appears to answer to first few requests, then hangs. From netstat, I see many half open connections. (See below). I can reproduce this by running a script many times in parallel. (See below) The problem was noticed when ypbind service was trying to start. I worked around this problem by using IPTABLES and block all remote client connections to port 111. Thank You Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run many copies of script in additional inforamtion field 2. Reboot computer 3. Watch system hang at ypbind service startup. Can not contact portmapper.
