This has been a while back, I've forgotten the exact circumstances.  It
turned out FAM was the only thing I had inetd starting, so as a
workaround I started it in rc3.d.  My understanding is "sunrpc" is the
port that needs to be in services.

Is the service "sgi_fam/1-2/rpc" defined in /etc/services (from the
looks `sgi_fam/1-2' is defined, but the syntax for this error message
is stupid so maybe it needs a /rpc in /etc/services)?  As I understand
it, it worked on one platform, and then when you moved the binaries it
stopped working, so maybe it is just a /etc/services disreprency.
Could you check the content of those files on both systems?

I'll install a patch that chanes the log message for this particular
message to differentiate between the protocol and the service, the new
format will be:

syslog (LOG_ERR, "%s (%s): unknown service", sep->se_service,
sep->se_proto);

instead of:

syslog (LOG_ERR, "%s/%s: unknown service", sep->se_service, sep->se_proto);

Thank you for your bug report.
