>Description:
rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are required for proper NFS locking support on
FreeBSD client systems. These can be started by adding respective
rpc_statd_enable and rpc_lockd_enable lines to /etc/rc.conf.

The rc.conf(1) manual page states that these options require system to
be an NFS server, but this is not the case. /etc/rc.d/nfslocking requires
either NFS server or NFS client (or nfsd). Also, enabling these options
on NFS client cause the intended effect (working NFS locks).
>How-To-Repeat:
man rc.conf, look for above options.
>Fix:
Replace related descriptions from "and also an NFS server" to
"and also an NFS server or client"
