I'm working on it.  The only thing I see related to DNS is the
one call to getnameinfo in the pass() function.  You can disable
that by not adding '-DLOGIN_CAP' to CFLAGS.  I've done that and
it still stalls after typing in the password. :(  I'll keep
looking.

BTW, how would I go about fixing the clients?  I try it from my
box at home or one at work that I know does reverse DNS correctly
and I still get the same thing.

Thanks.
