Cause
After installing patches 104331-04 and 103612-33, nis_cachemgr(1M) failed to come up. The symptoms are as follows during the reboot:
Sep 11 16:34:00 nis_cachemgr: Error in reading NIS cold start file :
'/var/nis/NIS_COLD_START'
|
and
nis_cachemgr(1M) isn't there after logging in. Trussing
nis_cachemgr(1M) showed that it is reading
/var/nis/NIS_COLD_START and immediately reporting an error. Neither reinitializing the client nor copying
NIS_COLD_START helps.
