I've netinstalled a laptop while inside Sun using Solaris Nevada build 96. This means, that at the end of the install, and reboot, it is using NIS.
Currently, I've got nwam enabled; # svcs -a | grep network/ph disabled 10:15:45 svc:/network/physical:default online 10:16:05 svc:/network/physical:nwam # Things work fine, however, it is noticed that during boot, the console shows: NIS domain: 2k4lab.lax.sun.com (actual name changed for sec) It would seem that perhaps NWAM should enhance the SMF ordering and startup dependencies or settings? If, at the end of boot, NWAM will be running and using DHCP, then why is it relevant to start and display NIS information earlier in the boot? It could even be considered a weak security bug, since it will show the accurate name of a valid NIS domain while at other locations? Just curious.
