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. >How-To-Repeat: Login as me on acorn or lime. >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. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dan State-Changed-When: Sun Jan 16 13:31:18 PST 2000 State-Changed-Why: I think you want to send this to your university computer guys, not us. >Unformatted:
