Well, my diagnosis at this point is that something is wrong ;-) In checking the rpcinfo man page, if no host is supplied on the command line, it uses the response from the command "hostname". I suspect that something is wrong with your host name setup. Type hostname and see if something comes back. Then make sure that hostname is registered with your DNS provider. This would also explain why rcp.statd appears to hang, it cannot identify the machine it is executing on. I would also make sure that you have an entry in your /etc/hosts file of localhost 127.0.0.1. Either you have no hostname, or the hostname you have assigned is not in the DNS or is different from what the DNS thinks it is. I think this may be the problem!
