The .bashrc file is pretty basic. I did as you recommended and noticed that the output did not occur until the last second right before the prompt appeared. Another thing I did was to watch the messages log. The following line appeared after about 15 seconds, though it was another 15-20 seconds before the prompt appeared.

Add some tracing in your dot files and see what its doing. You can add 'set -vx' at the top of your .profile (.bash_profile, .bashrc, .kshrc, whatever depending on shell).

When logging into these servers, there is a pause of approximately 30-40 seconds after the password is entered before a shell prompt appears. The systems are not under heavy load and I am not seeing anything in the logs that would indicate an error. In fact, I'm not seeing anything in the logs at all. Does anyone know why there would be such a long pause during login? ---- Thank You, Jason Williard PCSafe, Inc. -- nahant-list mailing list nahant-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/nahant-list -- nahant-list mailing list nahant-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/nahant-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
