Subject: Slow telnet issue (Off-topic)
For some reason when people try to telnet into our Solaris box from
outside our firewall it takes an incredibly long time to get the
login prompt. I have seen this issue before but I can't remember how
the hell I fixed it. At first I thought it was a reverse DNS lookup
failure and so I setup DNS correctly on the client machine and it has
no problem doing an nslookup, nor does it take a long time to do a
traceroute or ping to the server with IP or name.

This does the same thing when connecting to the server with
Tarantella (the servers primary role is as our webtop application
server.) Anyone have any ideas here? I'm running out!
