This is Sun's rpc.rstatd ported to linux with a new feature and a new client to exploit that new feature. Both the new client and daemon remain backwardly compatible with previous versions. Also you will have to comment out the call -lrpclib. This daemon is currently implemented on all linux machine on my local campus and it working quite well, but it has only been tested for linux-1.2.8.
Any bug reports, comments, etc. sent to the below address.
Stat's are now reinitialized to zero as well. This is also an idea of Jens Maurer who submitted code for the program as well. I have included a patch for clnt.h that will get rid of these errors. How ever since they are harmless installing the patch is not nessessary. This is another reason why it is recommended to use built in libc rpc stuff.
