whenever I add a user in grml, I get the following error:
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
I've never see this before, and would like to know why adduser need to do some rpc calls/connections.
Because you might run userauth via NIS. You didn't notice this before because Debian runs portmapper by default - which grml doesn't.
