Our users are taking anywhere from 2-5 minutes to login through OD.
I have
tested users, groups, computers, the servers and I'm totally lost.
Sometimes, they don't even get logged in for half of a class
period. My
account logs in quickly, less than 30 seconds, and when I tested users
individually they were equally fast. However, come class time when
they all
try to log in (25 kids, roughly) it lags or locks up. Any
suggestions? I
tried using a folder redirect through WGM, but it doesn't seem to
help.
A packet trace can be invaluable in these situations. SSH into a
machine and run
tcpdump -vvv -i en0 -s0 -w slowlogin.tcpdump
Now log into the machine as a student and wait... Hit ctrl-C on your
monitoring machine once the process has finished.
Then pop open the tcpdump file in wireshark (formerly ethereal,
available from darwinports) and have a look-see.
If this sounds daunting, feel free to mail me the output file from
tcpdump and I'll have a look...
