[news.software.nntp] Delay in connecting to nntpd

fox@andante.UUCP (David Fox) (11/21/89)

I have recently compiled and installed nntp-1.5.7, and it works
well except for a thirty second delay in connection.  I thought
I would ask here before I delved into it further.  It is running
on a sun-4 under Os-4.  Any simple fixes available?  Thanks,

Did you build nntp with a -lresolv ?  Do you have a working name
server?  This might be the problem.

We are experiencing the same problem.

No, I don't think this is the problem. We're using a version of Lachman's
TCP for SysV running on i386 and ns32332 machines, which doesn't have a 
name server (yet).
