It turns out that the problem is with the librpcsvc.a routines on Solbournes OS 4.0[CD], rather than generic sparc. The xdr routines for rstat in that library are compiled with the wrong structure definition and all rpc calls return RPC_CANTDECODERES. I worked around it by using rpcgen to generate my own set of xdr routines, and then compiling and linking those. I can mail you the diffs to the Imakefile if that would help, but I don't know if that's the problem with the Umax version.
