Inaccuracy or even a Bug in Chapter "25.3.3 Locking" of the FreeBSD Handbook

To whom it may concern,

I think I might have found an inaccuracy or maybe a bug in the
documentation concerning nfs: In Chapter "25.3.3 Locking" on the page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html

it says, that you need rpc.statd and rpc.lockd - but it doesn't say that
you need rpcbind to run these two. Of course rpcbind is mentioned on the
page, but only as needed for the nfs-server, not for the client.

(I found that solution on pipermail:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-December/069022.html
)

Maybe you want to update the Documentation to prevent Users from failing
in this point.

bye
Christian
