=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.4 2004/10/17 19:20:53 jmmv Exp $ Because FAM uses RPC, you have to add the following line to the system's portmapper file (/etc/rpc): sgi_fam 391002 fam # File Alteration Monitor After that, restart the rpcbind(8) server. Furthermore, you have to enable the FAM daemon. There are two ways to do this: through inetd(8) or as a standalone server. If you prefer the former way, add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf: sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root ${PREFIX}/sbin/famd famd and reload inetd(8)'s daemon. However, if you prefer the later way, use the provided famd rc.d(8) script. ===========================================================================
