hi everyone, I'm using nss_db to store more of the user account info instead of using /etc/passwd. Only the system accounts are in /etc/passwd, while the 1000+ user accounts are in /var/db/passwd.db. I have set /etc/nsswitch.conf to contain "passwd: files db" and "passwd: db files", but either way, gnome-session takes 20+ seconds to load. I can login normally at a text login prompt and the KDE login is fast, like <2 seconds. The gnome-session is fast, but only if I put the user's info into /etc/passwd. "getent passwd user >> /etc/passwd" is the command that I have used to do that. I'm baffled as to why gnome-session is not playing nicely with nss_db. Things are OK about a minute after login, but the gnome login is horribly slow when the user's info isn't in /etc/passwd.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem? RedHat 5.2 Desktop, 64bit Dell optiplex 745 dual-core 2GB RAM. Sincerely, Jason Edgecombe _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
