For more information, ldapclient with a manual config to setup
password authentication. upon reboot, it posts the hostname and then
said ldap nis domain name is and then would hang. At that point, we
got it into single user and ran ldapclient uninit, which wiped out the
LDAP configuration, but now upon reboot, it comes up on boot to the
point where it says:

Hostname: mbox02
NIS domain name is

and then hangs

We're running opensolaris nv67
