Situation
ndsrepair -R (unattended full repair) takes a long time and appears
to hang or time out.
eDirectory (ndsd daemon) operations (LDAP and NCP) do not seem to be affected.
Problem is reproducible even with a single server tree.

Resolution
One possible reason is that SLP is mis configured in the
network. As a workaround, use the /etc/hosts.nds file to
avoid the SLP name resolution delays.
Please refer to TID 10096901 for details on the format for the hosts.nds file.

Additional Information
Problem will be easily demonstrated with the RSLV and SADV ndstrace
switches as well as pstack snapshot of thread activity on the ndsd
daemon (on Solaris).
