Sun uses TI-RPC, not SunRPC. You don't need to make any changes on the 
interface. The problem is, that Solaris8 will not answer to SunRPC requests 
on a IPv6 address, only on a IPv4 address.
I read something about a BSD implementation, but they haven't released
the source. They have the problem with the incompatibility to Solaris8,
too.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
