We're having this issue with our server where some clients are having an extended authorization time to log onto our server, whether they attempt to do so via VPN or on our Network directly. This issue only seems to persist for some users and happens every time they attempt to log on. Log on can take up to 10 minutes, however, rarely ever fails.
I was told to check size of the home directories but the other IT here said he's pretty sure he disabled the home directory things. The only reason we have these servers is so that people can dump files on them for later use or to transfer between eachother for whichever project they may be working on. How do I check whether the home directories are enabled or not, and if they are, where can I determine their size? All I am seeing in the filesystem is the login for the Admin account and the other IT's account on the server.
What else could be causing this problem? It is not a machine-based problem as I can log into the server using their machine almost instantaneously. About half of our users are logged on instantly as well. We've been getting complaints about this for about a couple months now. It didn't seem to happen prior to February (though I can't say for sure because I started here at the end of January).
The server is an Xserve running 10.5.x or 10.6.x (two different servers). Computers being used range from Mac OS 10.7-10.9.2. I don't believe anyone uses windows that is having an issue.
