Client.client-domain.com -----> Server.server-domain.com
The machine Server was running it's own DNS and when it couldn't find
Client in it's own cache it went looking for the client-domain.com DNS
servers. But this is where the firewall blocked it. So it would sit
and wait until the lookup request timed out before finally giving the
"login:" prompt.
Help this helps.

Check your reverse DNS, many times this may affect the login times.Quote:> I have a linux server running Redhat 6.1 and it has been up for about a year

I am using KPPP with Mandrake 9.0, dial-up with an internal Conexant-based
modem with the correct RPM from the Conexant project site.
As a session progresses, the time to connect gets slower and slower. I can
usually get to "starting pppd", but the next stage times out with Exit
Status 10, even with the time allowed set to maximum.
Any ideas? TIA.
Doug.
2. REPOST: Multiplatform Data Compression for Linux (freeware)
3. Server getting slower and slower. Why?
5. Workshop 4.2 -> 5.0 -> 6.0 slower and slower...
6. stupid host name from my cable modem?
7. logout gets slower and slower!
8. finding boot block on external disk (newbie)
9. cable connect.slower&slower->dead
10. dselect ftp errors; PPP 2x slower than Win 95; root telnet login
11. After computer room power failure 3800 running sybase running appreciable slower.
12. PPP & FTP vs Telnet (<- this is much slower)
13. telnet from Window to Linux Server slower
