Section 1.5 of build instructions for Linux (https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/) recommends that on Debian-like systems /etc/init.d/rpcbind is edited directly in order to run rpcbind in insecure mode.

This is an error-prone practice, because upon upgrade changes to /etc/init.d/rpcbind are lost.

Instead, it is better to create a /etc/default/rpcbind (or /etc/rpcbind.conf) with the following contents:

# vim:ft=sh:

# Run rpcbind in insecure mode as required by CDE
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -i"
