9715.0. " CDE hang when network is putting down" by EVTAI1::POUSSARD () Mon May 05 1997 11:27

	Hi,


	I would know the reason why CDE hangs when we wants to logout or login
when we put the primary network down.


	I mean:

	machine calls suprix and is attached to the primary network inteface 
which is FDDI

	hostname command gives suprix


	machine calls suprix2 and is attached to a second network which is an
ethernet network.



	Now, if you are looged on CDE, and you do:

		# ifconfig fta0 down

	then CDE refuses to logout when you want to exit from your session.
No error messages anywhere.

	Then if you try to kill the X server, you find again the banner, but 
when you tries to login  to a new session, the screen is blue with the CDE
starting message, but nothing happens and no error message. THe only way is then
to reboot the machine or to do a ifconfig fta0 up

	Thanks to say me why CDE is hanging. If youtriess with xdm
environnement, it doesn't hang
