It isn't needed for NFS4, isn't it ? Nor portmapper nor mountd...
Strictly speaking, portmapper is not required for NFSv4 service. However, the NFS infrastructure on Linux is still designed for NFSv2 and v3. There remains some work needed to make portmapper optional for a v4-only server. For now, continue to run it in order to handle kernel upcalls.
rpc.mountd is, however, still required on Linux NFSv4 servers. Although NFSv4 clients do not contact the server's mountd, the kernel's NFS server performs upcalls to rpc.mountd to manage export information. You can firewall off the mountd service on the server without affecting NFSv4 clients. Recent versions of rpc.mountd accept command line options that disable the mountd network service while still handling kernel upcalls.
And, as long as lockd is running, you will need to keep rpc.statd around. Again, you can firewall this service so that it is not exposed on the network, but it must continue to be available to handle kernel upcalls. This is something we hope to address eventually as part of the lockd work Bruce mentioned.
