CDE Delayed login

[Nagaraju_L]

Hi,

We have configured one of our HP-UX server as NIS client to our existing NIS domain. User home directories are NFS mounted. But whenever we r logging as normal user(Root works fine) thru CDE it is stopping at blue screen for 5-6 Min. And with same login other client machines are working fine.
Any suggestions.

Rgds,

Nag

This can sometimes be caused by having the users' history file NFS mounted. Try placing something like this in /etc/profile to make the history file local:

HISTFILE=/tmp/.sh_history.$(whoami)
export HISTFILE

Shalom Nagaraju,

To see if its a DNS issue, from the user trying to connect to the HP-UX client, please try this.

nslookup
nslookup

nslookup
nslookup

If there is a significant response time difference between the third and forth commands above, it is a DNS issue and the documents in the post above should help.

But, we are not using any DNS here.

Hi Nag,

Could you post your /etc/nsswitsch.conf file ?

Are you login with hostname? Try to do with ip-address itself. Is there any time difference.?

Are you getting same delay when login with telnet or ssh terminal ?

Can you stop and start CDE again?

Try above scenarios and post the results.

I'd also advise looking at your nsswitch.coonf file ... root seems fine so CDE most likely is too.

If not already set try

hosts: files dns nis

result ?

Yes..It is working fine from CLI.
