It should just launch on demand automatically based on RPC
registration calls. That is the out-of-the-box configuration.
If that is not what you're seeing, we should chat.

I have a piece of code that uses Sun RPC calls. I noticed that the
port mapper is not running by default when I tried to run this code
on OS X. At the moment, I'm starting the port mapper from the
command line with "sudo launchd /usr/sbin/portmap" and typing in my
password.
I have a Cocoa frontend that I'm designing with the code for my RPC
service running on a separate thread.
Is there a recommended way (Security.framework?) to start the port
mapper in my application? Are there any consequences to starting
the port mapper again if its already running? If so, what's the
recommended way to programmatically find out if its running?
Thanks a bunch,
