wondering if the lag is the server trying to identify inbound connection
(ie dns)
I believe if you look at /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
disable = no
}
that the log_on_success and log_on_failure stuff will cause it to try to
figure out who is connecting.
for s & g's, try emptying them. i.e.
log_on_success +=
log_on_failure +=
or you could make sure that the desktops connecting are found in dns or
in /etc/hosts or however you've configured /etc/nsswitch.conf
