Im "supporting" at least 2500 HP-UX workstations with CAD-related software with the B.11.11 build. I cant say anymore than that because of my companys sligtly paranoid security policy .
The last few days a new problem has arised from nowhere.
The problem is that users gets logged off when the screenlock should have kicked in (after 10 minutes of idletime). It doesnt happen to all the users and we have the same image installed on all Workstations. No discs are full. And the problem seems to be local since users have the same problem if the try the same computer. If they lend a collegues computer, the problem is gone. I dont think its a RAM issue because there are machines with 2 gig RAM wich runs well while machines with 4 gig RAM can start behaving like this.
The users store and fetch all ther modelfiles from a network of servers. The is no function which unmounts idle networkmounts so that is not the issue either. We are using NIS and Selang for useraccessrights and pushing out UNIX-ids to the local machines.
I havent found any kind of errors in the logs that wasnt there before. Anyone who has experrienced this problem before? Anyone got a clue? Im puzzled...
Im open to any suggestion even the spacy ones. Hey, even stupid suggestions are welcomed!
This is bigger issue than one can think because it takes 15-20 minutes for our users to get all the aplications and networkfunctions up to be able to work on the 3D-models.
