# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

rpcbind:
rpcbind: This is a network daemon used to manage connections to RPC services.
rpcbind: It is meant as a replacement for the 'rpc.portmap' server from the
rpcbind: 'portmap' package. Daemons that offer RPC services (such as the
rpcbind: daemons for NFS) tell the rpcbind on what port they listen.
rpcbind: RPC network port numbers may change each time the system is booted.
rpcbind:
rpcbind: This package is required to use NFS or other RPC services.
