I've gotten the same sort of results with 2.3.44, 2.3.45, and
2.3.46. Both "login" and "telnet" hang for about 20-30 seconds
before they let me log in. I reported this to the list twice
[rather badly though because I really can't track down exactly what
causes the problem] and was ignored...
Disable NIS entirely on your system. The C library is trying
to lookup hostnames and user names using NIS, and since you aparently
have no NIS or portmapper running, it times out trying to contact
that server.
In glibc you can control this with /etc/nsswitch.conf
In libc5, sorry I have no idea how to turn it off there.
Perhaps someone else can help out on the libc5 case.
Later,
