System name: e40-008-7
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.3P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Log in to a dialup. The login process involves runnning
"zwgc" and "znol".
What's wrong:
I often get messages like "Hostmanager not responding" or
"Connection timed out while locating user". Usually zwgc and znol
start up OK anyway, but after a long delay.
When I do a "ps -aux", I find that zhm is running just fine.
What should have happened:
I shouldn't get these errors if the hostmanager hasn't really died.
