If you're looking at diskless, could you investigate the issues associated
with rpcbind being run before /var is writable (I believe)?  The result is
that rpc.lockd can't be properly started, breaking boatloads of stuff. :-)
Likewise, rpc.lockd also shouldn't be started before /var is writable.

Also, it looks like pwd_mkdb's support for NIS got broken sometime
recently:

cboss# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd 
pwd_mkdb:  uid is incorrect
pwd_mkdb: at line #22
pwd_mkdb: /etc/master.passwd: Inappropriate file type or format

The same password worked fine a few months ago (it's barfing on the
+:::::::::, needless to say).
