Sun Secure Global Desktop Software - set prompt in .cshrc causing startup timeout in 4.3

In our generic login for csh users, we set the prompt with:

if ($?prompt) then

if ($?tcsh) then

set prompt='%m(%n)!: '

else

set prompt='`uname -n`(`whoami`)!: '

endif

This works with a console login, an ssh, etc. for Solaris and RHEL systems. If we login to tarantella, we are able to login, but when an X application is started, the connection gui opens and the application will probably timeout. This happens with konsole, with full desktop, etc. If I comment out the section setting the prompt, there are no problems. Has anyone seen this? It seems very strange because the /etc/csh.cshrc sets the prompt without this happening.

You would want to modify how SGD is looking for the prompt character in

/opt/tarantella/var/serverresources/expect/vars.exp

Look for the line that goes:

set prompts(prompt) {[\\\$%>\\\#][ ]*$}

and try changing it to:

set prompts(prompt) {[\\\$%>\\\#:][ ]*$}

and see if that helps.

Thank you very much, that worked like a champ!! The colon was causing the problem? If we had used a different character to terminate the prompt such as $ would everything have been okay?

The expect script was looking for typical prompt characters like '$', '%', or '#' followed by one or more spaces. Since you modified your prompt to ':' followed by a space, SGD was having trouble looking for the prompt character.

So, to answer your question, if you changed the ':' to any one of the typical prompt characters, then it should be ok.
