>Description:
	nfsd and mountd are in /sbin. Meanwhile rpcbind/portmap is in /usr/sbin
	It seems rather pointless to have nfsd/mountd taking up root partition
	space (statically linked no less) when they are absolutely useless
	without something from /usr/sbin

	Also, there isn't much need to have them in the root since you most
	likely aren't going to be exporting filesystems until fully booted.

	NetBSD has nfsd/mountd in /usr/sbin
	OpenBSD has nfsd/mountd in /sbin

>How-To-Repeat:
	ls -l /sbin/nfsd /sbin/mountd
	ls -l /usr/sbin/portmap /usr/sbin/rpcbind

>Fix:
	Move nfsd and mountd out of /sbin into /usr/sbin where they rightfully
	belong. This should be accompanied by a repo-copy.
