Here you go:

Begin3
Title: rpc.rstatd          
Version: 3.03      
Entered-date: January 1996  
Description: an rstatd, rup, and rsysinfo for linux, new version which
includes the ability to display the number or users on the remote
system.  Still remains
backwardly compatible with older daemons and clients.
Keywords: rup, rsysinfo, inetd, rpc.rstatd, portmapper


Primary-site: ftp.cs.mun.ca /pub/netapps
                        15037 rpc.rstatd-3.02.tar.gz
Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/Network/daemons
Original-site:  ftp.cs.mun.ca /pub/netapps
Platform:      
Copying-policy: GPL
End

You don't say which version of AIX - but I can tell you that this works
with AIX 2.2.1 on an RT, so it'll probably work on every other version
of AIX too.

For rpc.lockd -- scan DejaNews for recent postings about that.

Nope, the guy asked for rpc.statd, not rpc.rstatd (note the subtle difference).
AFAIK there is no version of this for Linux but you could an older FreeBSD
version. They used to have stub-versions to make systems like AIX happy.

Note that the current 2.1.62 kernel does have lockd (and presumably statd?)
built into the kernel, but especially the NFS server isn't very stable yet.
