Re: Slow telnet login on LAN

[Albert Dengg <a_d@gmx.at>]

Hi
This seems similar like the problem i head with several daemons:
some services (and it seems from what you wrote also telnetd) try to
reverse-lookup the connecting IP address, first in /etc/hosts and then
in DNS with the standard config and so if you do not have the IP of
Box-2 is not in /etc/hosts, it tries to look it up in DNS and if it does
not find it, you will have to wait for the timeout which can take some
time....
so, I see 2 options: add the IP in /etc/hosts or reconfigure the telnetd
to not look up the connecting IP....

yours,
Albert
