This indicates that your NIS server is not running or cannot be contacted - the init script will wait for up to ten seconds to contact it. Are you using some non-standard network connection management such as Network Manager or one of the laptop connection detection systems that doesn't bring the connection up as part of the init sequence? -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
