All e-mails reminded me about verifying /etc/hosts, /etc/bootparams,
/etc/ethers, /etc/nsswitch.conf and about checking if rpc.bootparamd is
running, if ....  (all typical things). I checked it all again and
everything was ok. Then I
recalled that I had installed Sunscreen Lite for tests on the jumpstart
server. After disabling the firewall all went ok.
Below is original question.
