hi, on one of my freebsd machines, whenever i run passwd (root or
non-root) it takes about 180 seconds to get the 1st prompt.  at first i
thought this was a dns problem, but dns is fine, and why would passwd need
to do a dns lookup anyway?  heres is the last part of the truss output for
it:

syscall bind(0x4,0xefbfd540,0x10)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall ioctl(4,FIONBIO,0xefbfd570)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall sendto(0x4,0x80529f0,0x38,0x0,0x8052808,0x10)
        returns 56 (0x38)
syscall gettimeofday(0xefbfd4bc,0x0)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall select(0x5,0xefbfd52c,0x0,0x0,0xefbfd4b4)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall sendto(0x4,0x80529f0,0x38,0x0,0x8052808,0x10)
        returns 56 (0x38)
syscall gettimeofday(0xefbfd4bc,0x0)
        returns 0 (0x0)

now it sits there for awhile (not sure exactly how long).  when i get the
1st prompt everything is ok.  any ideas?

thanks in advance,

Whats the same between computers and air conditioners?  They both stop working when you open windows.
