Summary0004072: "rpcinfo" and "showmount" command not found
Description

In Kali 2017.1, the commands "rpcinfo" and "showmount" gives the error "command not found". I managed to reproduce this on 3 separate and fresh installs of Kali 2017.1.

Steps To Reproduce

In a fresh install of Kali 2017.1 (for "rpcinfo):

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type "rpcinfo" and press Enter

In a fresh install of Kali 2017.1 (for "showmount"):

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type "showmount" and press Enter
Additional Information

A fix for "rpcinfo": 1. (In Terminal) "updatedb"

  1. "locate rpcinfo" (output should be /usr/sbin/rpcinfo),
    then rpcinfo becomes usable
    Otherwise (for "rpcinfo"):
    1. apt-get install rpcbind
    2. apt-get install nfs-common

A fix for "showmount": 1. (In Terminal) "apt-get install apt-file"

  1. "apt-file update"

The above fixes worked for me and a friend of mine.

the packages rpcbind and nfs-common are not installed by default that's why commands are "not found".
