Thanks for the reply Rick,=20 It looks like the cause of the problem is a 30Mb spool file that is = being generated from a 529k drawing in Voloview!

Hi, What you're actually seeing is that the login process isn't completing. = If you use ctrl-F1 (ICA session) or ctrl-alt-delete (console) and start a = new task (explorer) you'll probably get a desktop. Causes can vary, but I'd check out the IMA service and the local host = cache. If the login process accesses network resources that aren't available, = you could also see this sort of problem. Actaually had an instance today where a server appeared to freeze, = problem was due to a user account having expired, causing authentication errors against a backend file server and essentially blocking all i/o to that server. Checked the eventlog (security) on the file server and it was = full of authentication errors. Logged that user off, and the server = recovered. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>=20 Volante Systems 18 Heussler Terrace Milton 4064, Queensland Australia tel +61 7 32467777 -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rance [mailto:Steve.Rance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 20:33 To: Thin @ Freelists (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] Citrix locking up...
