Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running FreeBSD RESLEASE-2.2.5 on a 486dx33 with 8meg of memory. I also have an 3c509(?)... the epX device. The computers in question are: normandy.torpedogames.com 10.0.0.101 iwojima.torpedogames.com 10.0.0.104 I am running the DNS server on normandy and it works great, my win95 machine is able to to use it fine. The problem is that when I telnet or ftp to the computer(s) it connects immediately but then sits for over a minute. Once I get the login prompt I can login fine. When I run netstat it also takes over a minute, what's up? When this happens I have the /etc/resolv.conf as: domain torpedogames.com nameserver 10.0.0.101 If I rem out the nameserver line or put an invalid IP address in then it connects and displays the login prompt immediately however the DNS no longer works. What can I do to fix this? What's really causing this? Also, another question. What do I have to edit so I can login as root via telnet? As a temporary fix I added another user to the wheel group in /etc/group then su to root after logging on as the user but I assume there has to be a better way. I've looked around in the /etc/login.access but couldn't get anywhere. Thanks, 73s -- Timothy Toroni N9VHM, Sgt.
