Hi, hot on the heels of my last question comes this....

I've noticed that logging into my system from remote, coming from behind a 
firewall that prevents identd from connecting, it takes about 30-40 
seconds to complete a login.  The same goes for an existing 
window from which I'm executing an 'su'. 

When I login from a non-firewalled host, or perform the su from a window 
opened from said host, I have no problem.  The new login shell is ready in 
a normal amount of time.

Is this an identd execution going on?  I tried a kernel trace on the 
rlogind process running and didn't get much output.  It did contain the 
hostname I was connecting from, though.  And we do filter identd connects 
to that host.

What changed?  Are the inet services' daemons more secure by default, 
now?  And why does this happen under 'su'?

Anyone else noticing this?
