- I read the post on 'HP login very slow' and thought it might be connected, but
- since the problem is happening after login, i guess not.
-
- Our problem is also a recent thing - for the last month, when we try to telnet
- (or rlogin or rshell) to our 710 (8.07), we experience a ten or twenty second
- delay before getting the login prompt - not even a tcp 'are you there' works...
-
- the machine is on a network, and once used NIS (ypbind...) for name serving,
- but since another problem (the domainname 'ucd.ie' worked for some things, but
- ypbind seemed to insist on '.ucd.ie') cropped up, we just use resolv.conf to
- tell it where the nameservers are.
-
- now - the crunch - this has just recently started happening and i can't relate
- it to any changes we made, but when i disconnect the machine from the main net,
- the login process *never* seems to start - connections already made to local
- pc's etc. are still fine, but new connections hang indefinitely without ever
- getting a login prompt -
-
- so, the machine is going to the net (nameserver, i guess ?) for some reason,
- before ever deciding to offer a login prompt ?
-
- is this for real ? is there some way to stop it ? it might have been
- happening all along, and maybe external net traffic is causing the delay...
-
- it's driving us insane though, so any ideas would be very welcome
-
- (ps - if you can solve the domainname dot problem, speak up too :)
