+ NOTE for SLES10 servers: The nfs start scripts on most distro's start
+ rpc.statd by default. However, the in-kernel lockd that was in SLES10 has
+ been removed in the new kernels. Since OFED is back-porting the new code to
+ the older distro's, there is no in-kernel lockd in SLES10 and the SLES10
+ nfsserver scripts do not know the need to start it. Therefore, the user
+ MUST start rpc.statd.
