System name: sci-myth-1
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.4G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Log in.
What's wrong:
In /usr/athena/lib/init/xsession, in the switch statement
used to set the variable sleep_time, there is no case
for a "CVAXSTAR" (which is the machine I logged in on.)
There's a "VAXSTAR", but no "CVAXSTAR". Therefore, sleep_time
was set to 0, making for a very slow login.
What should have happened:
sleep_time should have been set to 10 or something. Perhaps
"VAXSTAR" should be replaced with "CVAXSTAR" or "*VAXSTAR"?
My .startup.X consists of the following:
echo sleep_time = $sleep_time
Here's my console window after logging in:
13:20 Athena Server (VS3100) Version 7.4G Wed Dec 9 21:45:06 1992
