Description

The rpcinfo(1M) is unable to connect to localhost over TCP or UDP in a case the host parameter is not specified and the machine's hostname is not resolvable:

# hostname
test
# getent hosts test
# rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo: test: n2a: hostname not found
# rpcinfo -T tcp
rpcinfo: can't contact rpcbind: RPC: Name to address translation failed - n2a: hostname not found
# rpcinfo -T udp
rpcinfo: can't contact rpcbind: RPC: Name to address translation failed - n2a: hostname not found
#

To fix this, we should change rpcinfo(1M) to explicitly connect to localhost, instead of obtaining the hostname of the localhost, resolve it, and then attemp to connect to it.
