Hi

I have a 386sx/40 with IDE, 8MB of RAM. I have a tun0 (currently unused)
ed0 [my home ethernet backbone with a subnet of my class C], lo0 [127.0.0.1]
and lo1 [127.0.0.2 and another subnet]. I have Apache attached to one of
the IPs on lo1.

My system is 3.0-current (19th JAN). The problem may have started a week
ago, but I only noticed it about 3 days ago, and I waited for this
"make world" and install before reporting it. The "make world" did not
help or change anything AFAIK.

At times, it is difficult to get sendmail to answer (only difficult, not
impossible like before - it just takes a LOOONG time).
It also logs these:
Jan 19 17:25:27 grunt sendmail[166]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): getrequests: accept: Bad address

NIS is _horribly_ fragile - If I change passwords, the following happens
(logged to syslog):

Jan 19 16:57:28 grunt portmap[161]: svc_run: - select failed: Bad address
Jan 19 16:57:28 grunt portmap[161]: svc_run returned unexpectedly
Jan 19 16:57:28 grunt /kernel: pid 161 (portmap), uid 1: exited on signal 6

On the client side, everything just hangs - ^C needed to break out.

Just before attempting to change the password, I did a `ps -ax', and
everything looked normal - no multiple yp* or anything.

I get lots of these:

Jan 19 16:58:26 grunt ypbind[174]: select: Bad address

...but as I have been getting them for a while, I don't think they hurt
too much.

Clues?

M
