At seemingly random times, our Ultrix systems (DECsystem 3100, RISC Ultrix 3.0) get into a state in which it takes minutes to get a login prompt. Rebooting sometimes remedies this, sometimes it goes away by itself. I have also noticed this in MicroVaxII running Ultrix 3.0. All systems are internet nodes; Suns on the same network never exhibit this trouble. Anyone have an explanation or workaround? I am most interested in the explanation. Please e-mail to vjcarey@sphunix.sph.jhu.edu. Thank you.
