/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  
  }
