103663-03 & NIS+

-- ifconfig cannot resolve the hostname when it boots.
Nick Murray solved the problem, using two approaches. I tested and have
implemented his second one.

Does your /etc/nsswitch.conf file have something like:
hosts: nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
I installed 103663-03 on a 2.5.1 host that did and got the symptoms you
described. My two workarounds were:
1) Use IP addresses in /etc/hostsname.*
2) Change the line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to:
hosts: nisplus dns files
Off the top of my head it looks like the DNS library is returning the
wrong error - not found rather than unavailable this early in the boot
process.
Hope this helps,
