I've asked this question before but I never got any response. If possible
I'd like to try and see if anyone might be able to help, maybe even
someone from Red Hat.
I have two 7.1 machines at home. M1 is externally visible to the net and
has two NICs. One NIC goes to the cable modem and the other goes to M2.
When I'm on M1 or on M2, the su command is very quick. But there are three
instances where the login process is slowed down with a 30odd second
delay:
1. I telnet into M1 from the outside (i.e., not from M2) and run su. The
telnet is nice and quick, but the su has the 30 second delay. In addition,
the exit command from the su also incurs the same delay.
2. ftp into m1 from the outside and exiting from the ftp incurs the same
delay.
3. (The reason I'm asking for help.) Running fetchmail from M2 to get mail
from M1 incurs the same delay. (M2 iws my wife's machine and little things
like this annoy the hell out of her.:-() The fetchmail delay only happens
at the beginning as there is no logout sequence associated with the
protocol.
I'm totally at a loss on where to even start. Any clues at all would be
greatly apprciated.
TIA
