[comp.sys.dec] _SLOW_ response to login request

hudson@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (John Hudson) (09/18/90)

I had read in several previous postings of unusually long waits for
logins under Ultrix and had only seen one solution - use a non-DEC
version of bind.

I am running Ultrix 3.1 (UWS 2.1) on a VaxStation II-GPX.  Typical waits
for valid logins are from 90-120 seconds, sometimes longer.  The problem
seems to be independent of machine load, request location (local, remote,
or console) and communication program (rlogin, telnet, etc.).  

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
