Re: slow boot time

Terry,

The slow start up is a problem. I have it on my machine too and it is not solved perhaps because it is oddly random some machines have the problem some do not. Google it and you may find more. Here is one recently.

More info for you, from Macfixit:
We've received a number of reports of slow startup times after installing the 10.3.2 Update. MacFixIt reader Paul MacLeod reports that opening the Directory Access application and disabling Rendezvous cured his startup problems. Note that disabling Rendezvous in Directory Access may also disable the use of Rendezvous for many useful services and applications, so this isn't an ideal "fix." However, if you're experiencing slow startups since installing the 10.3.2 Update, it's worth trying -- at least temporarily -- just to see if it helps. We would appreciate hearing from readers who have tried this fix. If it works, at the very least it would help us identify a possible cause of these issues.
We've also received a report from reader Chris Wright, who noticed that his
system.log file contains the following entry, over and over, at approximately
the same time that startup stalls:
localhost /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer: Error with bootstrap_look_up on server
port after 10 tries: APIFramework/CClientEndPoint.cpp at: 247: Msg (1102) =
unknown error code
According to Chris, the message above also occasionally occurs for the httpd
and loginwindow processes.

Hi again, Thanks for the feedback - I tried disabling Rendezvous & also Samba from my startup, but no real noticeable difference in boot time - no doubt it's something that'll be cured in the next system update. --

Bye for now, Terry Allen ___________________________________________________________________ hEARd
