There is no such thing as a publically available rpc.lockd.

To work on it, you'd probably need three machines: One to make the
requests that had working client code, one to reply that had working
server code, and one to watch the packets and dump them out.

The rpc.lockd isn't well documented anywhere except Sun internal docs,
apparently.
