It sounds strange but you will get the following messgage  on your console
within sunview:

	RPC: Remote System error - connection timed out
	Selection Library Internal error
	Couldnt get client handle for current holder

if you do not have configured your ethernet interface. To get rid of this
problem :

set up a name and an internet adress for your machine in /etc/hosts

i.e.

192.9.200.1	myhost loghost

be shure that wou have the lines:

ifconfig ec0 $hostname -trailers up
ifconfig ie0 $hostname -trailers up
ifconfig le0 $hostname -trailers up

in the file /etc/rc.boot (hostname has to be set correctly to i.e. myhost
in /etc/rc.boot as well)
