I just figured out and fixed this on my system last night. I run a
fairly bleeding edge hamm - I have my own mirror and I upgrade about
once a week. The new version of netbase renames rpc.portmap to
portmap, but xinetd has not been made aware of this yet. The fix is
to edit the file /etc/init.d/xinetd and change 'rpc.portmap' to
'portmap' and it works fine. I'm sure xinetd will be updated soon to
make this the default.
