In-reply-to: Message from Jon Loeliger of "Tue, 07 Nov 1995 19:47:33 CST." <199511080147.TAA29210@chrome.jdl.com> Date: Thu, 09 Nov 1995 00:11:48 -0500 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I remember seeing some Usenet posts about just this problem a few months ago; it is resolved by some little source editing. Suggest you connect to http://www.dejanews.com and search on "tcsh timeout", or some such keyword combination. Failing that, use the source to find where the nameserver lookup happens on login, and comment it out -- but don't ask me if this hack actually works! ========================= Michel Joly de Lotbiniere mjdl@interlog.com =========================
