In normal operation, the login procedure is straightfor-
ward. At a prompt, the user types their user name and
password, and the system opens a shell or GUI.
Besides a hardware problem, the Dtlogin application, the
name server, or the Solaris operating system itself might
cause difficulty logging in. Consult the system administra-
tor in this situation.
Checking a component means checking the electrical con-
