Hello, managers
I have a DEC 3000/600 running OSF1 V3.2 214. Two weeks ago I noticed some
strange things about Xwindows:
1. Some times Xdm does not prompt for login. Console switches to graphics
mode, I see the standard dotted X backgruound and the X mouse cursor, then
the console switches back to text mode. I run /sbin/init.d/xdm stop and
xdm does not stops, so I need to telnet from another machine and kill xdm
and X (Xdec) by hand. Some times if I let the things go on for a while I
get the login box again.
2. When I run Pine (version 3.95) into a DECterm the window "freeze" and I
need to kill Pine by hand from another window. Thios does not hapen if I
run Pine into a Xterm.
This machine was reconfigured recently from scratch, because we changed
everything (domain name, net addresses, etc). I'm wondering about a
possible misconfiguration, since I've broke the second Murphy's law: "If
it is working, do not fix it".
