[ale] NFS (no, it doesn't stand for No Fairtax System) :-)

I'm relatively new to NFS in production systems, and I am setting up a
production NFS server.  When I start up nfs-kernel-server (Debian Sarge)
I get this log message:

  statd running as root. chown /var/lib/nfs/sm to choose different user

Question: should I change /var/lib/nfs/sm to something other than the
default of root?  Is there a problem leaving it owned by root?  

NOTE: the server doesn't expose shared mounts to the outside world. ;-)

Thx,

-Jim P.
