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: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the messagehelp
