Hi All,
I am facing a very strange problem.When I log in as root,I am able to log in properly.However, when I log in as any other user or su to that user from root then it takes some 2 minutes to login.
What could be the problem?
Which files do I have to look to correct this?
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanx....
 
Sounds like it could be an automount problem, or a name service problem (i.e. NIS, NIS+, LDAP, etc.).

Check to see if the user's home directory is automounted (/etc/auto_home). If it is, make sure your machine has access to the NFS share. In other words, cd into that user's home and make sure it works.

If it's a name service problem, make sure that client has access to the server.

Hope this helps.
