Description of problem: portmap requires files from /usr/lib which may be outside the root-partition: | $ ldd /sbin/portmap | libwrap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 (0x40031000) When having an NFS-mounted /usr directory, the booting fails because portmap (which is required by NFS) can not be started. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tcp_wrappers-7.6-34 portmap-4.0-54 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount /usr via NFS 2. reboot Actual results: Starting portmapper: portmap: error while loading shared libraries: libwrap.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ... Mounting NFS filesystems: <<< MACHINE HANGS >>> Expected results: portmapper will be started and NFS filesystems will be mounted.
portmap now statically links with libwrap
