Re: timeout with telnet or ftp
that tends to happen a lot with machines with a broken DNS configuration,
install a DNS and/or try commenting out the lines in
/etc/hosts.deny. It's best to install a DNS and not rely on another
incase that other is not reachable it will take a while to 'time
out'. most services try to reverse lookup the addresses that connect to
see if they are spoofing(not that most daemons do anything about it if
they are)
