:Yes, that mechanism is still present. Of course, you'll have to
:replace "portmap" with "rpcbind" in the hosts.* files.

I had a problem with this (source from anoncvs about 3-4 hours ago &
did a make build).  Two network cards on my machine: A.B.C.D & E.F.G.H

from /etc/hosts.allow:
	rpcbind: 127.0.0.1, A.B.C., E.F.G.
from /etc/hosts.deny:
	rpcbind: ALL

Invoked as: rpcbind -l
Lots of:
	rpcbind: connect from local to unset(yppasswdd): request from unauthorized host
type messages.  All rpc based services: nfsd, etc. carked it.
Removed the lines from /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny and I can
use it again.
