I tried to send a PR on this but it didn't work---I got the following
error:
Proxy Error
The proxy server could not handle this request.
Reason: Could not connect to remote machine
So here it is:
I notice that there's a spot in the rc file that does the following:
# Whack the pty perms back into shape.
chmod 666 /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
Unfortunately this is done before networking is up, in particular
NIS. Since we manage our wheel group centrally, the wheel group isn't
present in the /etc/group file, and an NIS lookup is attempted, with
results that should be obvious to anyone with familiarity with this
kind of setup.
Moving this section past the network_pass stuff fixes the problem.
Here's a context-diff:
japonica:/etc > diff -c rc /usr/src/etc/rc
