statd - Status Monitor for status-based RPC services

The statd daemon implements the Network Status Monitor (NSM). It is needed by the Lock Manager to restore lock tables following system crashes, and must run on both the client and the server. statd works in conjunction with status-based RPC daemons to provide restart functions following system crashes.
