Re: rpc.statd WHAT IS IT ?????????

As Rob said its part of NFS,

on my Debian-like system there is a tool called rcconf which allows
you to enable and disable services in your current runlevel.

#sudo rcconf

look for nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server and remove the asterisk using
the space bar

to stop the service

#sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop

.
