Tracking rpc errors 'svc: unknown version (0)'

Tracking rpc errors 'svc: unknown version (0)'

[Jarod Beekman]

I upgraded our nfs server from 2.4.9-34 Redhat 7.2 to 2.4.18-5 Redhat
7.3 and I am now seeing 'svc: unknown version (0)' errors.  Poking
around on the list and the net tells me that this is a reflection of an
unrecognized rpc request.  Is this correct, and if so is there a way to
track down the source and nature of the request?  Thanks for your help.

'ethereal' should be able to help you out here.
Just look for a null 'version' field in the RPC header: that should
tell you who and what the offender is.

If I were to hazard a guess, though, I'd expect that you will find
this is a NULL RPC request (i.e. the procedure number is '0') which is
often used in order to probe for whether or not an RPC server is up.

Cheers,

Whoops, that's a patch that got lost between 2.4.9-34 and 2.4.18-5.  The 
message is a null rpc request, and can be safely ignored.
