That sounds very familiar to something trying to do a network hostname
lookup/verify and/or connect that will eventually fail before continuing.
It often happens in isolated networks, where no DNS (or internet) is
available. If that is the case, then these delays probably go away
when you manually enter the hosts' IP addresses and names in the
/etc/hosts file. If there are programs trying to connect to the
outside world in an isolated network, then you'd want to use dnsmasq
to sink all DNS queries to 127.0.0.1, except those for your local hosts.
The hosts file IS the local dns here. its all there. about 25 entries
with all the aliases, any dns requests not in the hosts file are fwded
to the server at my isp. resolv.conf sets hosts first, then nameserver.

seems to have added an nsswitch file so here it is:
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd
shadow: files systemd
gshadow: files systemd
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
Which I know little about but sounds like it is important. The man page
is at best, opaque.
Thanks Bertho.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
