I think this is a wider issue than one or two programs. Some of the libc rpc APIs (including those used by rpcinfo) consume ipv4 sockaddr_in addresses only. This problem still exists with FreeBSD 12.3. I have a NFS client for which the firewall rules on the NFS server are only open for IPv6. NFS mounts work just fine, but 'rpcinfo -p server' (server name does resolve to an IPv4 + IPv6 address) runs into a timeout with: rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Operation timed out |
rpcinfo (and probably rpcbind) do not seem to support IPv6 addresses: pirzyk@amigo:~/svn/puppet 25>rpcinfo -p ::1 rpcinfo: ::1: hostname nor servname provided, or not known pirzyk@amigo:~/svn/puppet 26>rpcinfo -p 127.0.0.1 program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 3 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 2 tcp 111 rpcbind 100000 4 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 3 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 2 udp 111 rpcbind 100000 4 local 111 rpcbind 100000 3 local 111 rpcbind 100000 2 local 111 rpcbind ... This also fails for non localhost IPv6 addresses. Seems that inet_addr(3) does not understand IPv6 formatted address.
