stat.d run as root...should be chowned

I have this in networking but had no answer's in days.

can you guys help me out on this :D

trying to setup nfs on a pc in slackware 11.0 and I get this error message below, and i've been googling and reading manuals. but most stat.d stuff that i see is really old.

here is /var/log/messages:

Quote:

rpc.statd[2682]: statd running as root. chown /var/lib/nfs/sm to choose different user

I thought that lock.d locked this? does this need to be done? if so is it to be chowned over to a normal user? and will it stay that way, or do I need to do that on boot every time.

/etc/hosts.deny is as follows:

Quote:

portmap: ALL
lockd: ALL
mountd: ALL
rquotad: ALL
statd: ALL
# End of hosts.deny.

thank you in advance.

the computer is to only have nfs and that's it, no samba, no ftp, mail servers. just a regular home pc in non windows environment
