* nis_cachemgr: authdes_refresh unable to synchonize clock * on client init

 Dear all,

I have been adding clients to our new NIS+ Root Master. As some of the
machines sued to be part of an old root master I took the following
actions to remove all trace of the old one:

pkill -9 nis
rm /etc/.rootkey
rm -rf /var/nis
cp nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
reboot

When the system came up I used this commands to initialse it as a new
client:

nisclient -v -i -h nisserv1 -a 172.16.33.20 -d hq.gemini.edu

This works on all my NIS+ clients and after completion I can use
nisstat/ nisls to display information.

When I reboot on some, but not all, clients I get this error message at
boot time:

** nis_cachemgr: authdes_refresh unable to synchonize clock **

I looked this up on the the Sun website and it says that this error
should time out after a while and the client will be OK, but if course
this doesn't time out and the clients hang for at least a day afore I
reboot them single user and removed NIS+.

Is there some strange authentication problem going on?

The NIS+ root master is new and the clients were once part of another
NIS+ domain.

Thanks for any help in advance.
Regards,
S.
