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! John Hudson

Are you running the Gateway version of telnetd (telnetd.gw)? This version of the daemon allows users to use the login: prompt to connect to other machines on decnet and the internet. When you mentioned that you replaced bind, my ears perked up. Running the non-gateway version of telnetd might increase response time.

I've seen the same problem when I was using BIND and the nameserver was down. Check if you are using BIND and the sequence in /etc/svc.order (maybe put local before bind). regards Jens Trier Rasmussen CERN-CN/CS jenst@cernvax.cern.ch
