>Description:
In the rc file there's the following code:
# Whack the pty perms back into shape.
chmod 666 /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
Since we manage the `wheel' entry in the group file through NIS, this
causes an NIS lookup for us. Since NIS isn't up when this code appears,
the system hangs. To continue the boot, we have to do ^C.
>How-To-Repeat:
Remove the `wheel' entry from the /etc/group file, place
+:::
at the end of the /etc/group file, then reboot. The system will
hang during the boot process. Hitting ^C will allow the boot to finish.
>Fix:
Move the above code after the network startup. Here's a uu-encoded
patch (though the fix is pretty obvious):
