Hi all:

Sorry for the late reply but I wanted a complete one.

Thanks to the following:

Leonard, Roger<rleonard@cvty.com>
Kenneth N. Ash"<knash@dskmail.itg.ti.com>
Larry Chin <larry@sprint.ca>
Bunny Pfau <bunny@hao.ucar.edu>
Chan Cao <ccao@FASTech.Com>
foster@bial1.ucsd.edu
David Evans <DJEVANS@au.oracle.com>
ascott <ascott@zetex.com>
Daniel Nica <dany@romsys.ro>

If I missed anyone, sorry, Pine sucks pretty bad trying to do this.

SunService traced the problem back to /usr/sbin/rpcbind

Believe it or not, the file had 0 byte on it. I ftp'ed a file
from a "healthy" machine, and it worked.

Take care all.
