>Description:
	Machine configured with NIS server/client and UserMode PPP (for PPPoE).
	Startup hangs when PPP is started during boot.  Problem also apparent
	in earlier versions.

>How-To-Repeat:
Configure machine to use NIS and Usermode PPP on startup.
see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nis.html
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html

>Fix:
	in /etc/rc.network where usermode ppp is started:

	su -m ${ppp_user} -c "exec ${ppp_command}"

	'su' is hanging as NIS has not yet been started.  NIS needs to be
	started prior to any use of 'su' in rc files.
