Hi,

It do not seems to be corelated to .profile. Morover it seems to be a networking/name resolution issue.What are you using for name resolution DNS/NIS ?? Can you attach /etc/resolv.conf.

Also do you find any differences in the two .profiles.


HTH,

Hi Ahmed,

Are you connected to the HPUX server with a pc ?
Is it running dhcp? Could it be that your pc ip is changed?

Check if your HP server can find both name and ip of your pc.
# nslookup ip_address_pc
# nslookup host_name_pc

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan
