it's what i did at the time, but would it be alot of work/space to include 
statd? when doing backup of files to somewhere else, you kind of want to know 
it's not gonna get mushed if someone just goes around opening some files or 
something...

would it just be running statd? or would it also require portmapper etc... 
etc... ?

if it's too much work, or too complex, it's not needed, but if it's not too 
much space and just having statd, then it's good
