  That message is issued only after the function is completed,
  meaning that this is the last thing it did correctly.

  Suspect your machine can't get to the NIS server. Made even
  worse if /etc/nsswitch.conf has nis in front of files.

  Search the rc2.d directory for the interface multicast message,
  think it is in S71rpc. From there, you can add debug echo
  statements to S71 and S72inetsvc to see where it is hanging.

  First check your NIS server to make sure it is alive, particularly
  if this machine is statically bound rather than broadcast. And
  make sure the NIS server can reach this box.
