userland process rpc.lockd opens untraceable ports...is something wrong here?

Rpcinfo  displays rpcbind's mapping of RPC program numbers to ports.

Sockstat and lsof provide the output you desire. Sockstat output below, lsof output is too difficult to cut and paste on a phone.

3443  4  udp6   *:652                 *:*
root     rpc.statd  3443  5  tcp6   *:652                 *:*
root     rpc.statd  3443  6  udp4   *:652                 *:*
root     rpc.statd  3443  7  tcp4   *:652                 *:*

Your kernel and userland are not in sync.
