Help text

RPC requests over IPv6 networks require support for larger addresses when performing an RPC bind. Sun added support for IPv6 addressing by creating two new versions of the rpcbind protocol (RFC 1833).

This option enables support in the kernel RPC client for querying rpcbind servers via versions 3 and 4 of the rpcbind protocol. The kernel automatically falls back to version 2 if a remote rpcbind service does not support versions 3 or 4. By themselves, these new versions do not provide support for RPC over IPv6, but the new protocol versions are necessary to support it.

If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (version 2 rpcbind requests only).
