I have one HP j6750 running with hp unix.

Problem is once i give my user id an passwd only i am getting one blank screen and it will not show any errors also.

Where could be the issue?

Hi shreejith,

does this happen only for your login?
what about root login? and through console?

ssh or rlogin or telnet ?

do you have root login , if yes can you try login with root and if you are able to do login with root than please send the following details

cat /etc/passwd | grep user name

copy of /etc/shells

copy of .profile of the user

Hi,

Try to login the system with failsafe root session.

Check following files;
/etc/hosts
/sbin/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.cond (dns)

Look for typos incorrect hostnames incorrect ip's

Check if both commands have the same output

# ping ip_of_J6750
# ping name_of_J6750

You could also try to run the dr_dt script and post the errors.

Robert-Jan

How are you connecting to the box through ssh or telnet/rlogin etc.
If you are using putty make sure that it is supporting the ssh version that on the box.

check .profile environment values for DISPLAY & Term

I am able to do telnet and ssh with all the user id including root.But i am unable to login in machine using any account only i can see mouse pointer.

NIS is working fine and all the other services are working fine.

Is there any issue with some files?

I am not getting you when you mention any account.
If you are facing problem with your account only then check for .profile or try it copy from some other users accout.

>i am unable to login in machine using any account only i can see mouse pointer.

so this is a workstation with CDE installed. Look for the ~/.dtlogin file and some X-specific settings. For CDE settings, see /etc/dt/config/Xconfig. I think there is a misconfiguration regarding your graphical frontend.

You could also try remotely (via ssh) the following:

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop

Can you log in locally after you stop CDE?
