Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 19:38:21 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <201104032338.p33NcLtS029786@multics.mit.edu> To: bugs@mit.edu From: John Hawkinson <jhawk@mit.edu> Errors-To: bugs-bounces@mit.edu Currently the Bldg. 12 cluster seems to be off the network, reported as [help.mit.edu #1529813]. Trying to login on those machines is unfortunate -- they don't give any sign that they are off-net. Instead, they poke along: Takes a few seconds to produce a username prompt. Takes ~30 seconds to produce a password prompt. Sit there for minutes (I waited 3 or 4) trying to login. It would be nice if there was a clear indication that something was wrong -- a "please don't use me," etc. Surely the machine should know when the hesiod lookup fails, presuambly before it gets to the password prompt? Thanks. --jhawk
