login time taking too long for p-520 1

[cts123]

Hi,

I got a IBM p-520 server with AIX 5.3 preloaded. The problem which I am facing now is, it's taking hell lot of time to get the prompt, when I do telnet to that server.

I checked /etc/security/login.cfg, /etc/rc.tcpip, /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/profile. There is no issue with the Ethernet interface in "Errpt".

Can someone suggest what needs to be checked to solve the issue.

TIA ..

Regards,
Sam

make sure the server is able to perform an inverse DNS lookup on the IP address you're coming from.

Are you resolving hostnames quickly or correctly? Does nslookup work? Does ifconfig -a hang?

Check your /etc/netsvc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf.

Spamly,

You are the man. I just didn't co-relate the /etc/resolv.conf file of that server with the production server. And that was the mistake I did.
I made the setting and it's working.
Thanks a lot.
