That's a thought. If you (Praxus, that is) are running sendmail, have it configured to use DNS, but don't have a working connection to a nameserver, sendmail will spin its wheels for perhaps 2-3 minutes at boot time. This could be contributing to your problem. Other things might too -- see what boottime messages show up in your logs. My experience, though. wasn't a sendmail problem. I was using startx, so X delays and boot delays would be quite distinct.
