Operating Systems AIX AIX 4.3.3 takes forever to log in Post 62052 by Jwoollard on Thursday 10th of February 2005 08:33:19 PM

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
