NFSD binds to the port nfsd (2049) and for my -CURRENT both lockd
and statd have '-p' options:
-----
$ man rpc.lockd rpc.statd | grep -- -p
     rpc.lockd [-d debug_level] [-g grace period] [-p port]
     -p      The -p option allow to force the daemon to bind to the specified
     rpc.statd [-d] [-p port]
     -p      The -p option allow to force the daemon to bind to the specified
-----
Are we talking about same entities?
