SMC Broken

Environment:
    SunOS skynet 5.8 Generic_108528-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

I followed the instructions at:

    http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-4073/6jd67r932?a=view
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsrdb/71806

For setting up SMC to work with NIS+. Yet when I try to run SMC and
view User Accounts, for example, I get:

    The attempt to view Users of Roles has failed due to an
    unexpected eror. This was cause by the following
    error:
     CIM_ERR_FAILED

This happens when running it from my account or as root. Whether
System Configuration -> Users or NIS+ Tools -> Users. Google'ing
for SMC+CIM_ERR_FAILED, I find:

    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert/50763

This part of that latter document has me concerned:

    To address the described issue, customers running Solaris 8
    Upgrade 3 (1/01) and later Solaris 8 Upgrade releases should
    upgrade to Solaris 9 (or later) with the appropriate patches
    once these are available.

Upgrading to Solaris 9 is most definitely out of the question.

Anybody have any idea what might be wrong or how I might pursue fixing
this? Or do I have to hand-roll my own tools for NIS+-based account
administration now?

(It's pretty damn critical I get this resolved. I have user accounts
to add/maintain *now*!)

Thanks,
Jim
