OK, I'm assuming here that statd is only run by the machine  running nfsd and
exporting filesystems, and /usr/sbin/rpc.statd is definately in the process list

Moving onto the files in /var/lib, everything seems to be in order, but I never see any
files written to /var/lib/nfs/sm.

statd is running as root, and here's the structure of /var/lib/nfs:

drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Apr 27 11:05 nfs

mop:/var/lib# ls -lR nfs/
nfs/:
total 24
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          614 Apr 27 11:05 etab
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           68 Apr 27 13:49 rmtab
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jul  9  2003 sm
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jul  9  2003 sm.bak
-rw-------    1 root     root            4 Apr 27 10:42 state
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          288 Apr 27 11:10 xtab

nfs/sm:
total 0

nfs/sm.bak:
total 0
mop:/var/lib#

There is nothing in the log for 'statd' other than

Apr 27 10:42:53 mop rpc.statd[478]: Version 1.0 Starting

This is not a life-or-death issue because the network is working,
but this is functonality that shoudl work, and it's bugging me :)

As always, any advice warmly received!

Cheers,
Gavin
