You could still be having DNS issues...especially if you are using
ident.  Check the xinetd.d POP startup stuff (typically
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3) and see if you have something like

	log_on_* += HOST

If so, delete the HOST bit or comment out the line(s).  That causes a
reverse DNS lookup to be done for the client so the client FQDN can
be logged.


I changed it to below, and it seems faster.

service pop3
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
#       log_on_success  += HOST DURATION
        logon_success   += DURATION

That should read "log_on_success += DURATION". "logon_success" is not a recognized option.

        log_on_failure  += HOST
}

Unless you implement reverse DNS, use reverse DNS, or put all of the possible reverse lookups in your /etc/hosts file, then I'd remove all references to the "HOST" parameter since any reverse DNS lookup will fail and have to time out. Also check the other files in /etc/xinetd.d to see if there are any other references to the HOST parameter (such as in "imap"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.
