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, For those interested, I'm in the process of getting an anti-virus scanning & spam scanning/rejection system up & running on my iTools machine under Postfix. There are some reasonable articles out on the net for setting these up - currently, I have RBL blocking working & Spam Assassin - the RBL blocking rejects the spammers at the gate & currently Spam Assassin discards spam prior to it dropping into user's inboxes. Shortly, I'll have Spam Assassin rejecting spam at the gate, as well as the virus-ridden emails being rejected at the gate as well, saving bandwidth & storage space. As an aside, have any users upgraded to OSX 10.3.2, the security update & the latest xcode update yet? On my G4 system, I did the upgrade & there's a significant increase in system boot time & a drop in general responsiveness - almost like going back to OSX 10.2.x If anyone has, can they post any experiences / problems that they had. --

Bye for now, Terry Allen ___________________________________________________________________ hEARd
