+it's what i did at the time, but would it be alot of work/space to include 
+statd? when doing backup of files to somewhere else, you kind of want to know 
+it's not gonna get mushed if someone just goes around opening some files or 
+something...
+
+would it just be running statd? or would it also require portmapper etc... 
+etc... ?
+
+if it's too much work, or too complex, it's not needed, but if it's not too 
+much space and just having statd, then it's good
