Now, if you lost power and you are waiting on DNS and NIS servers to come
back
online, who is accessing your servers anyway?
The NIS server is trying to access the filer for it's files, and the filer won't let it because it needs to talk to an NIS server for proper authorization. See Dave Atkin's email for a more details. (Yes, I know there are workarounds... as does Dave, who's obviously had experience in this area. :))
