since no more portmap, no more nfs client

[Felix Miata]

Quite several versions back, portmap was apparently made obsolete. Ever since
then, I've never been able to mount other systems' exports (except when not
running Fedora*). rpcbind, nfs & nfslock are running. I don't use
NetworkManager, iptables or ip6tables. When I try to mount nfs exports, I get:

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.

Service statd is not listed chkconfig output or in service configuration. How
does one get statd running (in F13/Rawhide, using the same options as worked
before and still work in Mandriva, *buntu, openSUSE, etc)?
