Apparently, Donald Burr scribbled: > Whenever I boot my machine and login for the first time (whether I login > as root or my own personal account), I either get a LONG pause (right > after the motd prints out, and right before my .login/.cshrc is > executed). And since I recently got dial-on-demand PPP set up, the PPP > connection also dials out during this long pause. Let me guess... tcsh right? > Has it something to do with the fact that I'm using tcsh as my login > shell? Thought so. It's trying to find hostname info for $HOST, I believe. > Basically, what I'm trying to find out is, "What is going on here?" and > "How can I fix it?" > > I apologize for the vagueness of my questions and my problem description, > but to tell you the truth, that's all I know about it. Good enough to identify it, I'm afraid I don't know what to do about it. Except, use csh through the login and convert to tcsh later. jdl
