portmap (initscript) problem

[Feczak Szabolcs]

When I run nfs-kernel-server I cannot access it from other machine.
I set up everything as documented in /etc/exports, hosts.allow 
and so on .. I have traced back the problem with tcpdump and nmap,
that the portmap service doesn't bind to the network ip, only to
local ip so If I do :

root at pix:~ # rpcinfo -p localhost
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

its fine

But for the LAN ip 

root at pix:~ # rpcinfo -p pix.sdi.hu
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection
refused

it fails ...

If I stop the service with the init.d script, and run
it by hand like: 

portmap -d 
or without debug mode, just portmap

than rpcinfo for pix.sdi.hu also reports back fine

Whats the problem with the initscript ?
