That could in fact be the case -- if it would compile at all, that
is. It's good ol' K&R style C which gcc refuses to accept these
days. That can be solved though.

Maybe I should word my question differently. I was thinking about how
to set up an RPC based service (FAM) which needs a portmapper and
would prefer a more DJB'ish way to do that. AFAIK there is no
ucspi-rpc, so I would have to use (x)inetd for the RPC connection. Any
ideas? What is your experience?

Thanks,
