ckermit startup time too long

[Nelson Castillo <nelsoneci@gmail.com>]

Hello.

When I start the kermit program (ckermit package in Debian) it takes
about 5 seconds to come up. Strace shows that it does a lot of lookups
I might not need.

Is there a known way to speed things up? I do not remember having
noticed this when I used ckermit a few years ago.

Thanks,
Nelson.-
