HPUX slow login

Hi,

I have HPUX 11.31 on IA64 that during login (with any user, simple or root, local or NIS) after I type the password and press enter it takes more than 2 minutes to get command prompt.

Any idea what can cause it and how can I solve it?

 

Thanks,

Tal

How busy is your system?

0.01% cpu load... the system is not doing anything.

Can you check to see if nslookup on that machine can find itself?

Check the  /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the password entry. Make sure if you have the correct entry specified for "passwd" as per your server configuration

 

Example:

# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
passwd: files --> in this case password use files for resolving
group: files
hosts:  dns files
ipnodes:  files
services:  files

When I run nslookup I get the correct results for forward & reverse lookup.

The "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file is configured correctly same as on other servers on our network.

How do you login to the server? SSH or telnet.

Do you face the slow login issue in both telnet and ssh??

Re: HPUX slow login

I use ssh, with telnet the response time is fine and I get the command prompt without delay.
