My mandrake 9.2 don`t start up in normal way. After startup appears login, after them password and than nothing happens. If I connect from other computer as root, I must press control+C after password and then everything works. Whats wrong?

Welcome to LQ.

It sounds like you may have something wrong with your login scripts.

Has this happened since the install?

No, my server runs allready 1 year. Login scripts - are they placed in profile.d?

They could be or if it is only happening to root it may be more likely in /root/.bashrc or /root/.bash_profile

No, it happens with all logins. Another strange thing is, that I have not any more root@.... in shell, but -bash-2.05b. And with scripts, which are placed in profile.d, everything seems ok.

It's a while since I've used mandrake - do you have a /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile?

If so are they both executable? Can you post a copy of their contents? If you put some echo statements periodically through them you could get an idea if they are being executed and if so at which point they stop.

Hi again! I had a little vacation. This is my startupscript (/etc/profile). Any ideas, where is a problem?
