At boot time, I'm getting some strange error/warning messages on my console,  
such as

	Check-in service NetMessage
	Check-in port 13 for NetMessage
	Registering new service C library lookup
	Registering new port 102 for C library lookup
	Server midi linking /usr/lib/kernloader/Midi/midi_reloc against /mach
	Server midi loading executable "/mach" for linage base file

I get this stuff about the time when /etc/rc is loading biod and ntpd.  Also,  
in /tmp/console.log I get stuff like 

	Jul 30 11:04:28 rincewind mach_init[2]: bootstrap_subset new bootstrap  
839 unpriv 840
	Jul 30 11:04:28 rincewind mach_init[2]: Registered new service  
MailFetch_port
	Jul 30 11:04:28 rincewind mach_init[2]: Registering port 841 for  
service MailFetch_port

None of these things seems to have had horrible consequences, though  
occasionally my machine seems to have trouble associating IP addresses with  
machine names.  For instance, once my machine couldn't find my NNTP server  
based on it's name, but it worked fine when I gave it an IP address.  Another  
time .rhosts wasn't working because my machine couldn't figure out the name of  
the machine I was rlogining in from.  In both cases, /usr/etc/nslookup worked  
fine, so it wasn't the nameserver dying.

I have installed nident and the new finger and fingerd, but both of those  
packages worked fine for several weeks before this mess started.  I also  
recently installed a websterd package, but removing it doesn't fix the  
problem.

Anyone have any idea(s) what the problem(s) might be?
