(Annoying fact: some initscripts stop nfsd using a rough equivalent of
"killall nfsd".  So the name of the threads is arguably ABI.  I think
those initscripts are nuts and deserve what they get, but that may be
because I'm forgetting the reason they do that.)

Yes, it seems we cant change then...

I tried on a RHEL4 distro and "service nfs stop" could not stop my nfsd
threads if I changed their names as described.

Next, I am going to try nfsd/...  

By the way, any idea why after "service nfs stop" I cannot unload sunrpc
module ?

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nfsd                  285597  3 
lockd                  76103  1 nfsd
auth_rpcgss            45002  1 nfsd
sunrpc                231915  6 nfsd,lockd,auth_rpcgss
exportfs                3813  1 nfsd
