description: 
The rpc.statd daemon fails to start correctly on 9.0rc1 becuase the directory
structure under /var/lib/nfs/statd is owned by user 'root'. Instead, the files
should be owned by user 'rpcuser'.

Altering the file/directory permissions fixes the problem:

chown -R rpcuser.rpcuser /var/lib/nfs/statd/

The problem will manifest itself when a user tries to initiate a Gnome login
session where the /home directories are mounted over NFS. By default, gconf will
attempt to obtain an NFS lock in the user's home directory using a file named
'/home/user/.gconf-test-locking-file'. Because rpc.statd was not started
correctly by the /etc/init.d/nfslock startup script, this attempt to obtain a
NFS lock will fail, and the user will not be able to log into the Gnome desktop.
