Hi all,

Is such an entry in /etc/hosts really necessary? My /etc/nsswitch.conf has "dns files" for resolving host names. I configured SGD for one fully qualified domainname that can be resolved via dns to the ipaddress of the machine. SGD basically works for me. However, it is extremely slow. It takes 30-40s (telnet) to fireup a Window Maker FullScreen session and that on a 2 x 1.6GHz machine with nothing else to do and even much more when using ssh for the connection method. The old SunFire 280 2 x 900MHz presented a better performance. I am wondering whether this is due to a suboptimal configuration of SGD (timeouts,...). Any idea how I could further track this down?
Possibly caused by SGD timeouts. More info here:
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-2550/launch_timeouts.html

Ok, in /opt/tarantella/var/serverresources/expect/vars.exp I increased the value for loggedin from 20s to 30s. Now FullScreen comes up even if I use ssh for the connection method. I am just wondering why this takes so much time... Still no clue! :-(

I am using

        pico /opt/tarantella/var/serverresources/expect/vars.exp
        
set timeouts(prelogin)            45
set timeouts(loggedin)            35
set timeouts(hostprobe)           35

in the meanwhile. It takes ages to login and often I still get a timeout. This is a Ultra 45 with two processors and 2GB RAM. "sar -g 5 5" gives me

prstat shows no serious CPU usage. Using telnet versus ssh does not really make a difference performance wise. Starting SGD apps (FullScreen, Object Manager,..) takes ages. I am clueless. :-(

Any idea what else I can check?

Thanks,

  Andreas
