If it cannot be started manually, how should I capture the output of the
portmap with the -d switch?
Actually, when digging a little deeper into this I guess that portmap is
started allright. I get this:
su-2.02# ps ax | grep portmap
115 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/portmap
So I guess it is a service started quite early in the process. So the
real problem is that rpc.statd isn't running in spite of what is said in
rc.conf
