Well, I suppose  it does. I don't  think, the loud calls  for PR closing
implies they need to be handled  like this... The problem description, I
believe, is pretty  clear -- until the NIS-client is  started before the
syslogd, the syslogd  will hang trying to figure out  the port number of
the syslog  service (if the  services database is  NIS-distributed). And
the glimpse over /etc/rc and /etc/rc.network  shows that it is still the
case.

Then, of course,  since I left the company where  I observed the problem
well over a year ago, I can not confirm this 100%. Only 99...

Bill, now  that Mike brought  this up, may be,  you, who were  bitten by
this "a  few times" too,  can arrange for  moving of the  NIS-stuff from
network_pass2 to network_pass1?
