[comp.sys.next] netinfo error - what is happening?

pete@othello.dartmouth.edu (Pete Schmitt) (12/12/89)

I get the following error about twice a day that causes me to have to pull
the plug on the cube to regain access:


Dec 12 05:18:28 othello lookupd[395]: netinfo sleeping: RPC: Timed out
Dec 12 05:30:00 othello lookupd[63]: netinfo failure, sleeping


When I look at what's running on the system, the netinfod is gone.  The
symtoms are:

1.	No further logins
2.	Can't use su 
3.	No access to net 

Has anyone seen/fixed this problem before.  Do I have corruption in my 
netinfo database?  Do I need to run netinfo, can I just run a standard
network on this machine.  (It's standalone on the net)
