When ever I see someone post something that can't be replicated because
it's inconsistent, I wonder what the answer is going to be.

So, here goes:

I have a client that has started experiencing a login anomaly. First, the
use telnet, and second, they don't have passwords at the Unix level.

They are on AIX 5.2.0.0 with Universe 10.2.12

The things I've seen are:

- the session doesn't make it into UV for their password prompt but drops
straight to Unix.

- I've checked permissions at various locations and at various levels.

- I've commented out various parts of both /etc/profile and
/u1/ACCT/.profile with no consistent noticeable change.

- I've checked UV.LOGIN and ACCT > LOGIN as well and nothing has changed
in either place, and they are performing minimal tasks.

- I've added a sleep just before exec  /u1/uv/bin/uv  plus changed uv to
uvsh to see if that mattered. It didn't change the failures.

- Failures are either on the 2nd login, 4th login, 3rd and 4th, 6th and
7th, 2nd and 3rd and 5th or whenever the pattern can't be matched...

In other words, there's no rhyme or reason that can be applied to this
failure.

This is a real head-scratcher for me and I'm hoping someone has seen this
or has something to offer.

TIA
