FreeBSD webmaster.ispro.net.tr 4.1-RC FreeBSD 4.1-RC #0: Fri Feb  2 18:19:52 GMT 2001 root@finland.ispro.net.tr:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
When I have nis_client_enable="YES" in my /etc/rc.conf file the boot process is haning at line
chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
of the /etc/rc file when I comment out this line the machine boots correctly. The same happened in 2 different machines I use here.
Somebody may lock out himself when rebooting the machine or they might need to go to system room to press ctrl-c to cancel chown and continue booting. After a power failure machines would not boot correctly! So this is kinda serious problem I guess... ?
>How-To-Repeat:
put
nisdomainname="!DOMAINNAMEHERE!"
nis_client_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf file. (I hope the problem repeats in your machines too)
>Fix:
I dont know yet but if you know something please let me know.
