I've seen this problem when the BSD box can't resolve your hostname for utmp, and it takes a few minutes for the resolver to give up. Add a static entry for your client box to /etc/hosts on your server and see if that clears it up, or if you're running a DNS server, you can specify it there in a db file. -charlie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
