Hello, We have a large number of FreeBSD thin client workstations that use NIS to get all passwd and group information. There is no account information stored in /etc/master.passwd or /etc/group (except of course the required +:::::::::). The problem is that the following line in /etc/rc: chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]* occurs before NIS services are started (which I believe is in network_pass2). This results in a very long pause at boot while the system attempts to do the chown before it has access to any user/group information. We have fixed the situation temporarily by moving this line further down in the script (directly after the completing of network_pass2), but we would ultimately like a fix like this to be included in the base distribution, as I am sure that other users may also find this to be a problem. Thank you for your assistance. -- Damien Tougas Systems Administrator Carroll-Net, Inc. http://www.carroll.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
