One person's opinion: rpc.statd is only needed if running an NFS
server. No NFS server should be 'exposed' to the Internet. NFS and
components have been a security nightmare for over a decade now. If you
need to run NFS for an internal net, make sure you have a good firewall
between you and the net to block all external access to NFS and
components. Then do all the security updates as the second line of
defense.
