 >Environment:
 
 FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE workstation configured an an NIS client.
 The /etc/master.password file contains only one entry:
 
 	+:::::::::
 
 The file /etc/group contains only one entry:
 
 	+:*::
 
 >Description:
 
 Workstations takes a very long time to bood due to NIS timeout.
 
 The /etc/rc boot script has the following line:
 
 	chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
 
 This statement occurs before NIS services are started (network_pass2).
 Because of this, the system will pause for a very long time at boot
 while it attempts to get the UID/GID from NIS until it times out.
 
 >How-To-Repeat:
 
 Setup a workstation to act as an NIS client.
 
 Install /etc/master.passwd with the following line only:
 
 	+:::::::::
 
 Install /etc/group with the following line only:
 
 	+:*::
 
 Reboot the system.
 
 >Fix:
 
 This problem is fixed by moving the 'chown' statement (as described above
 in /etc/rc) directly after NIS service startup (network_pass2). This
 allows the chown statement to properly get the UID/GID information it
 requires from NIS hence avoiding the timeout.
