The usual reasons are either:
a) Reverse DNS isn't configured correctly, so the connection hangs
until the DNS query times out (typically 155 seconds on Linux).
b) ident (auth) lookups are being blocked using a `deny' rule, so the
connection hangs until the ident connection times out (typically 189
seconds on Linux).
