Error something simple, but i have no idea: a login issue
Hi all,

I have a problem not really dramatic but realyl annoying:
i've got a groups of users who logon a sunos 2.3 box via a windows telnet client (KEAI, but this is not the problem).
they login as perso1 and password.
It takes a very very very long time to get in.
If i log on the same box as root, then do a su - perso1, i get the same results.
if as root, i do a simple su perso1, then source the .profile, it is almost immediat.
since yesterday evening and this morning, the .profile has not changed.
FYI, the login shell for both root and perso1 is ksh..

Any ideas?

Jason

Not much to go on here... A wild guess... a quota check on a non-responsive nfs filesystem. But there is no need to guess.

Open 2 root windows to the box. In window 1, do a "tty" command, then a "su - user". In window 2, do a "ps -ft whatever" to see what is happening.

/usr/sbin/quota is the problem!
Thanx Perderabo!

As always, you gave a lot of help! It seems like /usr/sbin/quota is working at login
But i get nothing really significative output of quota -v perso1
Disk quotas for perso1 (uid 4002):
Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft


There is nothing! Smilie

But i found this quota login on solaris which helped..
And commented out the /usr/sbin/quota in the /etc/profile, and everything is solved!!!



Thanx..
A very happy penguin friend!! Smilie Smilie Smilie Smilie Smilie
