Hmm, not aware of that.  Is that this project:
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpcbind/ ? 
Same question applies, though -- not in busybox, as far as I can see.  
But is this project mature enough?  I see it described itself as "beta", 
and it's a 0. release ... haven't tried opening that box yet.  (And does 
it cross compile out of tree without me having to leap through hoops to 
figure it out?!)

Is it bigger or smaller than portmap?  (I'll download and answer my own 
questions later, hopefully tomorrow) ... but what makes it better than 
portmap?
