Solaris 8 Problem After Patches Installed

On Friday, I installed the Recommended and Security patches to a x86 Solaris 8
system. After the patches were installed, I did a reconfigure boot. This
morning, when I try to shutdown the system, I get this error message:

# Shutdown -y -g0 -i6
ld.so.1: /sbin/init: fatal: relocation error: file /etc/lib/nss_files.so.1:
symbol__nsl_fopen: referenced symbol not found

I couldn't find the exact message with a google search, but one close to this
suggested to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib. Before setting the env
variable, this variable was set to nothing. After setting it, I was able to
get a little further in the shut down process, but then the system complained
giving almost the exact same message expect it was looking for "/sbin/uadmin"
instead of "/sbin/init".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
