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
