[mike at hpux11i-hppa ~]$ grep -A5 "struct rpcent" /usr/include/netdb.h
struct rpcent {
        char    *r_name;        /* name of server for this rpc program */
        char    **r_aliases;    /* alias list */
        int     r_number;       /* rpc program number */

I spent all of yesterday chasing this one down.  My C skills are horrible,
but if I add this to bbtest-net.c at line 101, the line 1794 warning goes
away:
extern struct rpcent *getrpcbyname (const char *);
The other three lines appear to have "rpcinfo->r_number" in common, but I
have yet to decipher the error messages' meaning.

I can arrange for access to the machine, if you would like.

and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious
and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.
