Bug 16145

Summary: Undergrad lab not starting shell on login

Description Jason Zwolak 2000-01-16 15:50:01 UTC 
The problem occurs when I try to login to lime or acorn (and any other undergrad lab computer, I assume).  After I login I get the login message and then nothing.  No prompt for a command, no shell.  If I just try typing in commands all that happens is the text I type is echoed back to me.  Two days ago I logged into acorn and had no problems.  I did not change anything when I logged in.

Fix: 

I'm not sure, but the first thing I would do is check to see if the shell I'm using exists and starts up at a resonable speed.  I know some programs are run off a network filesystem and startup slow.
How-To-Repeat: Login as me on acorn or lime.

I think you want to send this to your university computer guys, not us.
