nfsd startup problem

I've tried to set up a NFS server. When I start nfsd it fails whit "nfslock not started". When I start nfslock it fails silently. Readind the forum I've figured out that I must start portmapper for nfslock works. So portmap->nfslock->nfsd and it works.
The question is why the start of nfsd doesn't start this chain like the other scripts does?

I'm not able to give you an explanation why, but reading the wiki should have given away the answer: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs#Daemons

Yes, they give the sequence which works. But I think it must be automatic. dbus, for exemple, is started automatically then it's needed.

For the lazy ones:

/etc/rc.d/nfs

#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/portmap $1
/etc/rc.d/nfslock $1
/etc/rc.d/nfsd $1
