AIX 4.3.3 takes forever to log in
Hi all, my RS/6k 7043 150 with aix 4.3.3 takes FOREVER to log in. When I power the machine on, the boot process procedes normally and I get 2 short beeps (which I don't recall hearing before) and then I get the login window. If I log in, as root, say, the machine goes to its usual blue screen which says something like "Starting the Common Desktop Environment" and it sits on this screen for what seems like forever. Eventually, I do get logged in (after something like half an hour). If I do a command line login or a failsafe login, I get logged in very quickly. Can anyone give me any advice as to how to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks for the help. Jeff

rusers(1) General Commands Manual rusers(1)
NAME
rusers - Display a list of users who are logged in to a remote machine
SYNOPSIS
rusers [-ahilu] host...
OPTIONS
Give a report for a machine even if no users are logged in. Sort alphabetically by host name. Sort by idle time. Give a longer listing
in the style of who(1). Sort by number of users.
DESCRIPTION
The rusers command displays information about users and processes running on remote machines. The listing is in the order in which
responses are received, but this order can be changed by specifying one of the options listed in the OPTIONS section.
By default the rusers command prints the names of the users logged in. When the -l option is given, additional information is printed for
each user, as follows:
userid hostname:terminal login date login time idle time login host
If hostname and login host are the same value, the login host field is not displayed. Likewise, if hostname is not idle, the idle time
is not displayed. A remote host only responds if it is running the rusersd daemon, which may be started from the inetd daemon or the listen
function.
SEE ALSO
Commands: who(1), inetd(8)
Functions: listen(2)
