CDE Hangs

Greetings,

  I recently received an Alpha 433au workstation running OSF1 V4.0 564.32.
The system was setup with a hostname that was later changed to another
on a different subnet. All the appro changes were made in rc.config and
/etc/hosts but the CDE login process hangs when attempting to login.
Logging in via the command prompt or through the failsafe session works fine.

  I found a DEC tech support page which outlines a similar problem.

I made the appro controller and ident additions to the kernel config file
but the login still hangs.

  Has anyone had this experience and solved it? Thanks.
