Dear SCO Customer,

The enclosed Support Level Supplement (SLS) PTF3241, the rpcbind Supplement,
corrects a problem which prevented SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 with SLS PTF3123 and 
SCO UnixWare 2.1.2 systems from accepting RPC Version 3 incoming calls.

SLS PTF3241 corrects rpcbind to accept both RPC Version 3 and 4 incoming calls.

Previously, when sending rpc calls the system defaulted to RPC Version 4, but
if that failed it automatically reverted to RPC Version 3. The reverse should 
have been the same, but when receiving rpc calls the system defaulted to RPC 
Version 4. If that failed, it didn't revert to RPC Version 3.

Following are examples of the error messages:

  # rpcinfo -T tcp <hostname>
  rpcinfo:rpc: misc tli error -an event requires attention.

  # dfshares <hostname>
  nfs dfshares: RPC: Timed out

  # mount <remote filesystem>
  nfs mount: <hostname>:<host filesystem> server not responding: RPC: Timed out
