It no longer happens for me -- perhaps upgrade things some. I keep up with the mirrors so I am usually only a week or so behind the distribution. My current Kernel is 2.0.0 and my sysklogd package is 1.3-6. My libc is 5.2.18-8 and sysvinit is 2.62-1. (hope this helps.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Error: this signature should not appear.

I had this same problem on my R6 system, even after upgrading base and devel the problem continued. After upgrading some of the admin (I don't remember which, but cron was among them) packages, the problem went away. Seems to be some longwinded bookkeeping going on. Try upgrading the admin section and see if that fixes it.

Not the complete section. Just sysklogd. This seems to be the well known sysklog problem again. Simply removing the /dev/xconsole in /etc/syslog.conf may work, too.

I built it, booted it and got the new delays. I usually log in via telnet from a Windoze system and then su to root with no delay. If you have an user account that responds fast, log in with it and then su root. It will be interesting to see if you get the delay on root that way.

Re: DEBIAN-Re: logging in takes ages
My problem, since upgrading is similiar. I get the prompt, enter username and password and then wait. It seems to be account related. I can go to other virtual terminals and log in as other users, but if I try the same user, that terminal will also hang. Typicall hang times seem to be as bad as 30 seconds. Note, I almost always log in as root, so my problem may be root specific.

I get delays during system startup and sometimes when I use other network-related processes. It's not killing me, but I will be getting around to building kernels that are "tuned" for the typical role of each machine. I haven't analyzed it, but suspect that some longer delays are caused because more than a single kernel module needs to be loaded. This is just an opinion based on disk sound.

Hi all, Some dos oriented machines can acces my Debian box via a wd network card connected via coax. For some time this went pretty well, the login prompt showed up in 1 or 2 seconds. This isn't the case anymore, it takes approx 15 to 30 seconds before the login prompt shows up. any body having a clue why this is taking so long? Erick
