Login Pause after Password

[Jason Williard]

The .bashrc file is pretty basic.  I did as you recommended and noticed that
the output did not occur until the last second right before the prompt
appeared.  Another thing I did was to watch the messages log.  The following
line appeared after about 15 seconds, though it was another 15-20 seconds
before the prompt appeared.

Jan  4 16:21:18 host sshd(pam_unix)[3060]: session opened for user
myusername by (uid=0)

Automounted home directories? Something in the /etc/profile., ~/.profile,
etc? Add some tracing in your dot files and see what its doing. You can add
'set -vx' at the top of your .profile (.bash_profile, .bashrc, .kshrc,
whatever depending on shell).

Subject: Login Pause after Password

I have two servers running RHE4 with SELinux disabled.  When logging into
these servers, there is a pause of approximately 30-40 seconds after the
password is entered before a shell prompt appears.  The systems are not
under heavy load and I am not seeing anything in the logs that would
indicate an error.  In fact, I'm not seeing anything in the logs at all.
Does anyone know why there would be such a long pause during login?
