Starting NFS common utilities failed!

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

How do I fix this problem?

% invoke-rc.d nfs-common start
Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript nfs-common, action "start" failed.

Apparently, it's a common error but nobody knows the answer:

NFS-common-utilities--ftopict512091.html
http://www.linux4one.com/forum/index.php?topic=1888.0
http://man-linux.comli.com/?p=154

All are just symptom report with no solution.
