Re: ftp waiting
On your firewall, "reject" port 113 connections.
Do not "drop" them.
This will stop that delay as the ftp server is waiting for a reply to it's
ident query. The query times out after a while if you drop port 113 (send
no reply) but if you reject it(send tcp reset), the query is ended immediately.
Hope this helps,
Loren
