rpc.statd is normally used by nfs to know when the server goes down.
gethostbyname() is a libc function for converting a standard internet
address (ip or hostname) to a form
that some other libc functions use. It will do a hostname lookup if the
argument passed to it is a
hostname. Some how gethostbyname() is getting passed a bogus value.
Someone is probably trying to hack your box. Make sure you don't have
port 111 open to the outside.
