Is the act of initiating a connection slow, or is the connection slow for the duration? If initiating a connection is slow then the problem is most likely DNS related. The machine that you are logging into is trying to do a reverse DNS looking up your IP address. Can it? If not, then the connection is hanging while the DNS request times out. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf and see that the hosts line lists files first, then DNS. And put the IP address of the client host into /etc/hosts on the server. Also, you don't want to use telnet, but rather ssh, in most circumstances. Telnet is a security liability. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
