The original problem:
} Subject: inet error cannot register services
} Sun Managers,
}
} When I rebooted one of our machine running SunOS 4.1 today. I keep on
} getting inetd error cannot register services: rpc, timed out.
}
} I checked that portmapper is running and just for good measures, I killed
} the portmap process and restarted manually.
}
} When I did a rpcinfo -p, all I get are two lines for portmapper. No other
} rpc services are shown.

The solution:

I replaced the libresolv.a file. and restarted the daemons. Everything
worked. The lesson that I learned was that rpc and route will not work if
DNS is not working properly.

My thanks to the following people for their good suggestions.
