Since no one has responded, I'll just make a general comment about this based on my past experience. Delays on login can be related to reverse DNS lookup. If the configuration wants to reverse lookup your IP and the DNS is not working, it will take several minutes to timeout and then it will login. One test that could tell you if it might be DNS related would be to ssh into the box through the same network interface and user id. If the ssh login also behaves the same way, chances are good the delay is a reverse DNS lookup timeout. A few solutions are: - disable reverse lookup in the login configuration (I don't know if this applicable to tightvnc on Opensuse) - make sure the host box's DNS lookup isn't pointed to an invalid source or blocked by a firewall - get DNS operational on the box in general so that it will rapidly find a DNS server and either quickly resolve or quickly fail to lookup
