It took me a couple of years to figure it out :) but I know how to make different books appear. That’s a great hint for vim though. I’m a real knucklehead and dummy when it comes to networking. I think I know something and then when I try to use it, I realized I didn’t know what I thought I knew. When this happens and I’m building packages, I develop an almost compulsive “non-deviation” standard from the book. Then if something doesn’t do what I think it should, it’s my error. I think I know that packages change from book to book and that one package won’t build without the updated version of another package. Usually I’m paying close enough attention that I see the version changes, but……… That’s what happened here. In hindsight, I asked the wrong question. I knew it was probably true that 7.6 builds fine on 7.5 and should have inquired about that. I didn’t, however, and, once again, you and Bruce have combined to teach me something. > > Or look at the svn repository: > > http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/log/trunk/bootscripts/blfs/init.d/rpcbind > > Check the revision log.

I didn’t even think to look there. This is a resource I need to remember. Thanks.
