Actually looking on the web, old (very old) kernels did not start
automatically nfs lockd in-kernel daemon. This behaviour was worked
around using so-called rpc.lockd or something to start tell the kernel
to start it.
With newer versions of the kernel, lockd is started automatically by the
kernel, leading rpc.lockd useless and being removed.
Please someone correct me if i understood badly what i found on the web.
