	Hi,

	I have two unrelated questions that I haven't been able to figure out,
I hope some has a clue ?

Q-1) I'm trying to build amd/amq (an automounter daemon), it builds ok, and 
to run ok. (I can remount fs's with it with out any ptoblems).  But amq talks
to amd via rpc port number 300019.  The port is supposedly registered, it's
in the /etc/rpc file correctly.  But whenever I invoke amq, it comes beck with 
rpc not registered (or something to that effect).  And sure enough, when I 
run /usr/etc/rpcifo -p the port isn't registerd.  I thought all I had to do was
 put a line in /etc/rpc to register the port.  Does anyone have an idea why 
rpc isn't seeing the new entry in the file ? (I've tried rebooting and nothing 
changed)

Q-2) If your on a cluster server, is there a way you can tell when/how a cnode 
dies (loses contact with the server) ?  This would seem to be so unusual of a 
request.


	Any reply would be appreciated, Thanks,
	greg
