CDE login taking 3-5 minutes

[Jan Studsgaard_2]

I have a strange problem when i use CDE login in HP/UX 11.00.
It takes 3-5 minutes to make a CDE logon on the new installations off HP/UX 11.00.
The logon is hanging in the blue Copyright screen 3- 5 minutes.
I have try to find a solutions, but I can´t find anything in the errorlog and startlog.
When I login as Root it passed it without no problems.
It seems that I only have problems with normal users.

I have attached the dr_dt file FYI.

It there anyone who can help me??

Are the normal users' home directories NFS mounted?

Hi,
All our workstations is mounted agaist our Unix server.
I have the same mount issues even if I login as root, but root passed it without any problems.
If it related to mount point, how can I discover that.

Take a look at the home directory setting in the /etc/passwd entries for the users that are having problems. If they are nfs mounts, you'll see something like "/net/(hostname)/home/(username)". Root, on the other hand, probably has a local home directory, which is why root can log in without problem.

Hi Pete,
If I telnet to the same hosts as a normal user, I just passed it without any logon issues.
It seems that I only have the problem then logon using a CDE logon.
I hope this information will help.

Hi,

Just checkup you have got PHSS_25787 patch installed on your system.
swlist -l product | grep PHSS_25787.
This is a CDE patch.You can remove this patch using swremove and try login.
I hope this may solve your problem as i had done the same procedure when i faced same problem sometime back.

I found out that the solutions was the NFS mount point that you mentioned Pete.
I have to set the rsize and wsize to 32768 then mount against our aix 5.2.
This is the solution on my problem:
/home on 10.45.1.33:/home rsize=32768,wsize=32768,NFSv3 on Sat May 1 13:40:14 2004

I have never used the wsize and rsize before, but it seems to be the solution on my problem.
Thank you...both off you.
