To confirm the above, for nfs-utils-1.2.9-r3.
If I start nfs manually, all the associated daemons start too even
though I haven't added them to "default" (although idmapd is started
because of "/etc/conf.d/nfs"):
# ls -1 /etc/init.d/rpc*
/etc/init.d/rpc.idmapd
/etc/init.d/rpc.pipefs
/etc/init.d/rpc.statd
/etc/init.d/rpcbind
# rc-update | grep rpc
# rc-service nfs start
* Starting rpcbind ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS statd ... [ ok ]
* Setting up RPC pipefs ... [ ok ]
* Starting idmapd ... [ ok ]
* Mounting nfsd filesystem in /proc ... [ ok ]
* Exporting NFS directories ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS mountd ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS daemon ... [ ok ]
