/etc/rc.d/rc.rpc looks for /sbin/rpc.portmap and /sbin/rpc.statd   
   that should now be /sbin/rpcbind and /sbin/rpc.statd   
   so the section of /etc/rc.d/rc.rpc like this   
      
   rpc_start() {   
     if [ -x /sbin/rpc.portmap -a -x /sbin/rpc.statd ]; then   
       if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.portmap ; then   
         echo "Starting RPC portmapper:  /sbin/rpc.portmap"   
         /sbin/rpc.portmap   
       fi   
       if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.statd ; then   
         echo "Starting RPC NSM (Network Status Monitor):  /sbin/rpc.statd"   
         /sbin/rpc.statd   
       fi   
     else   
       echo "WARNING:  Cannot start RPC daemons needed for NFS.  One or more of"   
       echo "          these required daemons is not executable or is not present"   
       echo "          on your system:"   
       echo   
       echo "          /sbin/rpc.portmap or /sbin/rpc.statd"   
       echo   
     fi   
   }   
      
   rpc_stop() {   
     killall rpc.statd 2> /dev/null   
     sleep 1   
     killall rpc.portmap 2> /dev/null   
     sleep 1   
     killall -9 rpc.statd 2> /dev/null # make sure :)   
     sleep 1   
     killall -9 rpc.portmap 2> /dev/null # make sure :)   
     sleep 1   
   }   
      
   can be changed to this   
      
   rpc_start() {   
     if [ -x /sbin/rpcbind -a -x /sbin/rpc.statd ]; then   
       if ! ps axc | grep -q rpcbind ; then   
         echo "Starting RPC binder:  /sbin/rpcbind"   
         /sbin/rpcbind   
       fi   
       if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.statd ; then   
         echo "Starting RPC NSM (Network Status Monitor):  /sbin/rpc.statd"   
         /sbin/rpc.statd   
       fi   
     else   
       echo "WARNING:  Cannot start RPC daemons needed for NFS.  One or more of"   
       echo "          these required daemons is not executable or is not present"   
       echo "          on your system:"   
       echo   
       echo "          /sbin/rpcbind or /sbin/rpc.statd"   
       echo   
     fi   
   }   
      
   rpc_stop() {   
     killall rpc.statd 2> /dev/null   
     sleep 1   
     killall rpcbind 2> /dev/null   
     sleep 1   
     killall -9 rpc.statd 2> /dev/null # make sure :)   
     sleep 1   
     killall -9 rpcbind 2> /dev/null # make sure :)   
     sleep 1   
   }
