(tuning): always update MAC in CNI result. (tuning): Add support of altering the allmulticast flag. Host-local: remove redundant startRange in RangeIterator to avoid mismatching with startIP. Fixes possible infinite loop. Portmap: use slashes in sysctl template to support interface names which separated by dots.

If you occasionally want to access your home Mac from afar, whether it be to reach shared files, access a Web server, check in on a Web cam, or any other such purpose, Port Map is a free solution that can make the process simpler. (If you have MobileMe, Back to My Mac makes certain tasks much easier but may not be of any help with, for instance, viewing a local Web cam remotely.)
Port Map is a simple front end to your Universal Plug and Play router’s port mapping feature (this includes AirPort Base Stations). When you need to open a port to the outside world, instead of first visiting your router’s setup page, then navigating to its port mapping feature, then using its often byzantine interface to map the port, you can run Port Map instead. Click the plus sign to create a new mapping, enter the port number you’d like to open, provide a meaningful name (Web Camera), and then click Add Mapping.
Port Map will then create this map in your router, and you’re good to go–the port will remain mapped, even when you quit Port Map. You can also easily see all existing port maps and enable and disable mappings on a per-map basis, or all at once. If you don’t know what port mapping is, you’ll probably never need this program…but if you do map ports, Port Map makes it amazingly simple to do.

Name
portmap - DARPA port to RPC program number mapper
Synopsis
portmap [-d] [-l] [-v]
Description
Portmap is a server that converts RPC program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls.
When an RPC server is started, it will tell portmap what port number it is listening to, and what RPC program numbers it is prepared to serve. When aclient wishes to make an RPC call to a given program number, it will first contact portmap on the server machine to determine the port number where RPCpackets should be sent.
Portmap must be started before any RPC servers are invoked.
Normally portmap forks and dissociates itself from the terminal like any other daemon. Portmap then logs errors using syslog(3).
Option available:
-l' (localhost only) causes
portmap to only bind to the loopback interface (i.e. INADDR_LOOPBACK).-v' (verbose) run portmap in verbose mode.
This portmap version is protected by the tcp_wrapper library. You have to give the clients access to portmap if they should be allowedto use it. To allow connects from clients of the .bar.com domain you could use the following line in /etc/hosts.allow:
portmap: .bar.com
You have to use the daemon name portmap for the daemon name (even if the binary has a different name). For the client names you can use the keywordALL, IP addresses, hostnames or domain names.
For further information please have a look at the tcpd((8)), hosts_allow((5)) and hosts_access((5)) manual pages.

Bugs
If portmap crashes, all rpc servers must be restarted.
