autofs fails to start

Hi,

I noticed automountd server does not work on my new Fire 210 with
Solaris 9. Just after fresh install I applied the Sun "cluster patch"
and noticed no problems expect this:

automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address: address mismatch
automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] svc_create: svc_tli_create failed
automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] unable to create service

I've got no idea what the "address mismatch is".
NIS is not enabled in here and rpc seems to work ok.

Thanks a lot for any tips.

Wild guess ... did you rename the host sometime after install?

I think you can get this message if hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/nodename
and especially /etc/net/ticlts/hosts /etc/net/ticots/hosts and
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts do not agree on the hostname (IP).

I did not change the name.
All the entries mentioned have a proper entry.
The only change I made is I added a domain name which was absent at
the first place.
