problem on authentication user

[antonioelderprado]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

when I telnet to a hpux (11i) box I enter login and password and the prompt comes right after. When I enter a "mortal" (non-UID 0) user after the login name I enter password and takes long time for me to get the prompt. Eventually comes, however it takes long time. I did check /etc/shells, and nsswitch.conf . But I couldn't get the reason on why.

I appreciate any help.


thank you all

I had this problem before on Solaris. The problem was due to misconfigured dns settings. I think it's /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hosts...or it could be /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Double check them.
