I spent some time this morning and I've traced the problem to rpc.statd not starting. I tried to run it manually in foreground with debugging turned on and here is the result:
r...@cfevalpreprodvm:/etc/init.d# /sbin/rpc.statd -F -d 03/18/2010 14:12:53 rpc.statd[4739]: Version 1.1.2 Starting 03/18/2010 14:12:53 rpc.statd[4739]: Flags: No-Daemon Log-STDERR Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out : unable to register (statd, 1, udp). r...@cfevalpreprodvm:/etc/init.d# The above led me to dig around for a cause and eventually I found that the loopback interface was not configured. Once the loopback interface was up, everything began working correctly.
