The problem was long login times when the home directory was nfs
mounted. I have (as of 12+ hours ago) placed the following at
the top of my .cshrc (local to the A/UX disk):
test -f .home
if ( $status == 0 ) then
set home=`cat .home`
cd $home
endif
This is the .cshrc that is in my passwd entry. The .home file contains
a full path to my nfs mounted home directory (/usr/users/stf/mst). I have
not tested it out fully (been Chanukkah shopping) yet, but I still login
in the same amount of time as when my home dir was local (and yes, I do
know how long nfs logins are :-) ). I have checked and my $home is correct,
my $HOME is correct, ~ expansion is correct...
If anyone has some test for me to try, let me know. BTW, the .login that
gets executed after the .cshrc is in my /usr/users/stf/mst dir, so if any
of you try it, make sure you transfer any A/UX code to the new .login.
Mike.
