rpc.statd / autofs problem

[Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve]

Fedora 16 beta running on 64-core AMD

/var/log/messages:
Oct  5 23:16:29 marbles autofs[2215]: Starting automount:
#033[60G[#033[0;32m  OK  #033[0;39m]
Oct  5 23:17:22 marbles rpc.statd[2268]: Version 1.2.4 starting
Oct  5 23:17:22 marbles rpc.statd[2268]: Flags: TI-RPC
Oct  5 23:17:22 marbles rpc.statd[2268]: failed to create RPC listeners,
exiting

Tried yum install rcpbind but it didn't make a difference.
autofs config files as on a Fedora 15 machine.
/etc/init.d/autofs start is OK
But when I try to cd into an auto-mounted directory the messages above
appear in /var/log.
Any hints?
Thanks!
Ralf
