When the user logs in at the console things go really slowly, with some disk activity, then eventually the login just gives up and the Login dialogue box comes back. No error messages, nothing, just plain refusal to log in. If I remove the personal System Folder from the user's remote home directory then they can log in again with no problems. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix the situation? I have no problem with personal system folders for users having a local home directory. Perhaps this is a bug in A/UX 2.0? Has anyone else encountered this? -- Tony Hosking Dept. of Computer and Information Science _--_|\ University of Massachusetts / \ Amherst, MA 01003 \_.--._/ ) (413) 545-0256; hosking@cs.umass.edu v /
