As for the slow down, if I enable ident'ing on tcpwrappers, it waits until it knows the connecting party's username before it starts the demon. If the connecting party doesn't run ident, this attempt will cause a 10 second delay in the wrapper(the timeout). I don't want this delay. I want the connection to, lets say, ftpd, to launch ftpd immediately, and look up the user name info in the background, since I don't want to filter based on it. I just want to log it.
