This is the ssh from a NFS mounted machine to my home pc The problem is with my home pc and its not the DNS failure. Whwnever a new user is to login, it hangs, be it ftp/ssh/terminal login....just anything... the load on my home machine is not more that 0.1 i have uninstalled the 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl kernel after which this started (may be a coincidence), but to no avail. everything is fine, until i have to use the 'login' command(sudo/ftp/ssh all use it). What could be the problem with the 'login' process??? -- Regards, Jeetu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeetendra Mirchandani, Hostel : H12, A-Wing, Room 222 Graduate Student, Lab Ph : (+91 22) 25764705, 25764733 CSE, IIT Bombay, Mobile : (+91) 98208 78028 Powai, Mumbai, E-mail : jeetu[at] cse.iitb.ac.in INDIA.
