--- Begin Message ---Package: portmap Version: 6.0-6 Severity: important The portmap init script still uses `pidof portmap' when deciding whether to start portmap instead of creating a pidfile under /var/run. This means that - the potential DoS in #448470 still exists - on system shutdown portmap will be killed by sendsigs, causing trouble. The latter problem was triggered on my system when I switched to a dependency based boot system with the insserv package. It moved nfs-common after sendsigs and the rpc.{stat,idmap}.d processes had to be SIGKILLed, causing a 5-6 seconds delay in the shutdown process.

It seems this is fixed now that portmap uses pidofproc instead of pidof. At least I'm no longer able to reproduce the bug, so closing it now. Maybe this had already been fixed in 6.0-7, but I didn't accept the new init script back then. Regards, Sven
