Exceed rlogin problem!

[leereg_2]

When I try to rlogin to a HP B2000 workstation with HP-UX 10.20 installed, I use Exceed in my laptop, after inputting my username and passwd, and after version message scrolling, it hunged there, Why I can not login?

[KapilRaj]

what is Exceed ?. I assume it as an emulation software. Are you able to do a normal telnet login. Check up there may be some problem in your profiles.

Exceed is a emulation software.Maybe it is not cause by my profile.Because I can login to other HP workstations with HP-UX10.20.

Could it be to do with the shell then ? Try changing it ?

Also check exceeds log files ?

Is this the only user to have problems ?

[leereg_2]

All Exceed users can not login as me.Please see the attachment in which I copy the login rejection process.

Well it certainly looks like your .profile is most likely the problem. The attachment is not very informative.

What happens if you remame it to .profile.orig ?

also have you looked for clues in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and exceeds log files !!!

Hello Leereq,

what happens, if you put some "echo" into the first and
last line of your ".profile"? (assuming you DO use the
POSIX shell or the Korn shell, but NOT the C shell)
Do the same with the "/etc/profile" (if you have write
permission for that file). Do you get that output when
you try to "rlogin"?

Your attachment irritates in the way it shows your
prompt - you are already "telnet"ed or "rlogin"ed to
another system as "root", right?
Hence it seems NOT to be the eXceed (I do had a lot
of problems with that product in the past, btw), but
somewhere else. Can you telnet from there (wherever
that might be) to your target machine?

Perhaps it would be easieer for us, if you could attach
your ".profile" and your "/etc/profile" (and your ".*shrc"
if you have one). You will have to "tar" them or to post
them as three messages (only one attachment per
posting).

HTH,
Wodisch

hi ,

your profile is diff in diff machines. so please do checkup the profiles.
You did not reply whether a telnet to the machine works or not ?.

[leereg_2]

telnet has the same result.
Please see the attachment for my /username/.profile and /etc/profile.

Do you have a nfs-mounted home-directory?

A problem with nfs-file-locking can cause the same results.

The problem might be with your history file. Try moving your history file to a local filesystem like /tmp


HISTFILE=/tmp/.sh_history

[KapilRaj]

hi ,

Did you renamed .profile & checked up ?. What was the result ?.

Is there any file called /var/mail/$USERNAME.lock ?.

Hi,

Do you have inetd.sec file set on your unix server..? If yes add your laptop name (hostname) into that file

[leereg_3]

It was done by adding following line into my .profile:
export HISTFILE=/tmp/$LOGNAME.sh_history
So it seems that the problem caused by NFS,but I still want to know why I can logined other HP workstation which in the same environment with the cited one?And what the theory explaination?

Thanks,everybody!
thanks, expert!

I found that on that named HP workstation, the process /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
and /usr/sbin/rpc.statd
has not been started. After I start them manually, And I comment the line HISTFILE in my .profile, I rlogin it, everything is OK!
