Hello,
I had the same problem - starting rpc.mountd, but it dies.
I don't know what makes rpc.mountd fails to start, but anyway I've solved it
by doing
followings.

bos.net.nfs.server version is 4.3.3.10 and bos.rte.libc is 4.3.3.10. In this
case, rpc.mountd
fails to start. Version 4.3.3.12 of bos.rte.libc also doesn't work on my
test.
So, I've patched bos.rte.libc from 4.3.3.10 to 4.3.3.14 (it requires
bos.rte.net 4.3.3.1.
so you should install this before install bos.rte.libc 4.3.3.14)
And, I've rebooted the system. (maybe it should or not, I don't know ;-) )

BTW, I wonder why AIX's rpc.mountd is dependent on the version of libc. :-)
anyone knows this?
