Currently, mp_rpc_server.C tries 538 million ports to acquire an
available transient rpcbind port number. This is bad when rpcbind is
running in secure mode (and you are not using tirpc) - Xsession will
'hang' at the dthello (blue) screen filling up your error logs with
RPC errors.
Now, just try +- 50 (for a total of 100 ports) before bailing. The
dthello 'blue screen of death' is the most common problem in starting
CDE when rpcbind isn't set up properly. This should at least not
cause the appearance of a 'hang'.
This reverts commit 44e384aedb.
This code is actually needed. If svcfd_create() is not available, it
should be fixed only for those systems that it affects.
Remove from individual Imakefiles.
Also, remove '#if 0' block in linux.cf, and remove empty
LinuxMachineDefines. This should be working correctly. If not, let me
know.
