+.SH NAME
+rpc.lockd \- start kernel lockd process
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B rpc.lockd
+program starts the NFS lock manager (NLM) on kernels that don't start
+it automatically. However, since most kernels \fIdo\fR start it
+automatically,
+.BR rpc.lockd .
+is usually not required. Even so, running it anyway is harmless.
