>Description:
rpcbind seems to ignore the non-availability of INET6. I have a kernel without INET6, and built my whole system with MKINET6=no and USE_INET6=no. Still rpcbind complains during startup:
Starting rpcbind.
rpcbind: Cannot get information for `udp6'
rpcbind: Cannot get information for `tcp6'
It shouldn't be trying to "get information for `*6'" in the first place as it was built with MKINET6=no.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build kernel without INET6 support. Build distribution with MKINET6=no. Boot & install that. Start rpcbind on that system. Watch output.
>Fix:
Hmm. Maybe some beer...

  	I think you'll find this is rpcbind reading the lines in
  	/etc/netconfig that contain udp6 or tcp6 and not being
  	able to parse them due to missing INET6 support.

  	Try commenting out the udp6/tcp6 lines in /etc/netconfig

 True. But:
 - These lines shouldn't be there (why is a transport defined of which my build environment
 knows that it won't work because I explicitely turned it off?) And even worse, why TF are
 the *6 transports first, which mean they are preferred, in a mostly !*6 world(even disregarding
 any build options)??
 - netconfig(5) is not xref'ed from either rpc or rpcbind. Netconfig(5) though says that
 rpcbind is the only client so could that please be referenced? (additionally to the
 ref of rpc(3) which also mentions the file explicitely.)

 Thanks!
