I'm running SuSE 9.1 Logging in is very slow. I'm not talking about X loading. Logging in prompts for a password. If I give an incorrect password, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to tell me that. If I give a correct password, it takes literally 45 seconds to a minute to give me a command prompt. It doesn't matter where or how I'm logging in. Running 'su' from a shell gives the same delay. Running a program such as YaST, which requires the root password, gives the same delay. The delay occurs with either a normal user or root. It occurs with any shell (bash, zsh, csh, etc). I thought perhaps the issue might be with shadow passwords and so disabled them. No change. Any time I have to enter a password, there's a delay of close to a minute.
This normally means you have problems with DNS lookup or other, similar network problems. On function tries to connect to a network service and waits for the timeout.
