RHBA-2015:0489 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rpcbind packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The rpcbind utility is a server that converts RPC program numbers into universal
addresses. It must be running on the host to be able to make RPC calls on a
server on that machine.

Several bug fixes and improvements have been added. For example, the output of
the "rpcinfo -h" command has become consistent with the rpcinfo man page.
(BZ#884165, BZ#963512, BZ#1036791, BZ#1092513, BZ#1159683)

Users of rpcbind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
