When I type the command 'w' it holds for a while before printing
the output.
There is no firewall in the system, load average is below 0.8 and I
suspect
it is something else. Any thoughts on this.
The 'w' command attempts to look up the hostnames for any users which
are remotely logged in.
If you encounter a significant delay, that suggests that reverse DNS
(aka PTR record lookups) is not properly configured or is performing
slowly in your situation.
