Hello Digital UNIX Managers,
I am running DU v4.0B with patch kit 2 on an AlphaServer 2100.
All file systems are AdvFS, and we run the C2 Security option.
This 2100 has 128 Mb of RAM. It functions as an email server,
never has more that 40 users logged on simultaneously, and runs
no user applications, compilers, or anything else. It is just
an email server - most people log in to check their mail with
pine, with a very few using the POP server software that it runs.
My problem is with the Account Manager GUI, dxaccounts.
Once invoked, it literally takes a full 7 minutes for this GUI
to appear at the console. If I invoke it from a remote workstation,
it takes 16 to 20 minutes to appear! Before we installed the patch
kit from Digital for this version of Digital UNIX, the problem was
MUCH, MUCH worse. Swap space seems fine during this time, so I
don't think that is the problem. Does anyone have suggestions on
how to speed up the startup time for this GUI ??? I will
certainly summarize.
