Hello Mark,

i compiled and linked just as you.
As i mentioned in an other email, if I use socket-connections in the same manner with a socket-service, in don't need to setsockopt(.., SO_REUSEADDR, ...) and it works.

Raimund

Hello Raimund,
Let's keep this on the mailing list please.

I looked through the libtirpc source code and nowhere is SO_REUSEADDR being set. 
  You are on the right track with how to do it, but by the time clnt_create() returns to you it is already too late.  As far as I can tell there is no way to get access to the socket between the time it's created within libtirpc and the time it's made available to you by clnt_create().

I did try running your testcase (thanks for supplying that) but I don't have a local machine running RPC services and don't wish to poke at random machines on the Internet ;-).  I had to compile it as so:
     gcc -g -o test_rpc -I/usr/include/tirpc test_rpc.c -ltirpc You are taking care to compile against the correct RPC-package includes and link against the correct RPC-package libraries, yes?

Speculation: There might be a way to decompose what clnt_create() does into other libtirpc functions that accomplish the same thing, but in smaller pieces such that you could set the socket option before bind() is called.  That would be a fair amount of work though and given my cursory look at the source I don't know if it's even possible.
