Oh ok, I checked and I see now these scripts in rcS:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /etc/rcS.d/*{networking,nfs-common}
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20 Aug 23 2004 /etc/rcS.d/K65networking ->
../init.d/networking
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 18 12:13 /etc/rcS.d/S44nfs-common ->
../init.d/nfs-common
however if I delete /etc/rc3.d/S20nfs-common statd is not started and
automount does not work.
Our inittab does have:
# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
# This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode.
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
This script runs the S??* files in /etc/rcS.d/.
Hmm...
