Are there any errors in /var/log/boot.msg?

Also, which specific patchlevel of OES2 & GW?

Do this and see if it works:

insserv -r /etc/init.d/grpwise
insserv /etc/init.d/grpise

The first will 'remove" the grpwise script from the startup in case it is
there, but not working properly, and the second should readd it.

No problem - glad it worked!

Hello,

I've exactly the same problem (Sles10Sp2+Oes2Sp1)

I just tried what you suggested, but the 2nd line (re-adding it ?) results in :

  insserv: script grpwise: service grpwise already provided!

  insserv: exiting now!

Also, looking at ChkConfig I find a "grpwisemin" which I have no idea what it is : could it be interfering with the startup of "grpwise" ?

chkconfig -l | grep grp

grpwise                   0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off

grpwise-ma                0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off

grpwisemin                0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off

Thanks for any information or help.
