connect from hostIP to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host

Cause

An example of a message from SunOS:

Jan  5 14:45:37 host1 portmap[86]: connect from 158.175.36.135 to 
callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host

• request from unprivileged port

• request from non-local host

• request not forwarded

In the Solaris operating environment, the error might look similar to the following:

Jan  5 14:45:37 host1 rpcbind[86]: refused connect from 158.175.36.135 
to callit(ypserv)

In all cases, the ypserv part of the message might actually be any RPC service, such as mount or nfs or status.

Action

The user has a replacement portmap or rpcbind. The version is enhanced to add access controls, and the error in question is reporting an access violation. The replacements are third-party and are not supported by Sun. The user must locate the access control configuration files and change them to the desired access controls.
