That output returns nothing I can make any sense out of: /etc/init.d/nfslock: [ -x /sbin/rpc.statd ] || exit 5 /etc/init.d/nfslock: # Make sure the rpc.statd is not already running. /etc/init.d/nfslock: if status rpc.statd > /dev/null ; then /etc/init.d/nfslock: echo -n $"Starting NFS statd: " /etc/init.d/nfslock: # Set statd's local hostname if defined /etc/init.d/nfslock: # See if a statd's ports has been defined /etc/init.d/nfslock: daemon rpc.statd "$STATDARG" /etc/init.d/nfslock: echo -n $"Stopping NFS statd: " /etc/init.d/nfslock: killproc rpc.statd /etc/init.d/nfslock: status rpc.statd /etc/init.d/nfslock: /sbin/pidof rpc.statd >/dev/null 2>&1 That said, I forgot to look in the obvious place to look for clues, /var/log: kt880 rpcbind: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Permission denied kt880 rpcbind: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Permission denied With permissions and ownership normalized on those two files, it works. :-) I guess the timing of the start of my problem must have been a fluke. :-p -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
