[ac325ci]

so im trying to telnet to one of my servers and it only get to where it says Escape character is '^]'. and sits there.. it is a solaris 10 box.. nothing in messages file in console.. this is the what the routing table looks like..

# netstat -nr

Routing Table: IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.157 U 1 310 hme0
default 192.168.1.250 UG 1 608
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 79 lo0

question is .. how come its machine ip address is listed as gateway.. is that correct ? also i can ping gateway no prob and once i reboot the machine works fine...please help thanks...

your gateway is "default 192.168.1.250" or should be
your host IP is 192.168.1.157 (hme0)
This is the normal display of netstat -nr. Our systems say exactly the same. Have a look at "man netstat" for further details. The U=Up and G=Gateway

ok i think i resolved the issue.. changed /etc/nsswitch.conf

old

hosts: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

new

hosts: files dns

I was going to say, it sounds like login is timing you on the reverse DNS lookup. This can generate up to a 15 minute (5 min timeout x 3 attempts) delay before presenting the login prompt. very common problem with incorrect DNS settings or a bad DNS server.
