Hi,

We have a FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE (GENERIC kernel) box at work that has
exhibitted some strange telnetd behaviour. For example, when you try to
telnet in you get a login prompt straight away but after entering a
password have to wait for exactly 150 seconds (2m30s) until the shell
prompt is reached.

Even more curiously, once logged in if you try to telnet (or ftp for
that matter) out, a 75 second delay is experienced. This has happened a
couple of times now and a reboot fixes the problem. DNS has been checked
carefully (nslookup queries work fine), so I'm pretty sure it's not
that.

I've seen a couple of vague references to this problem but nothing quite
so clearly defined. There is no problem on boot, so I can only guess the
system gets itself into a state over time.

Guess I'd better upgrade to 4.0-STABLE...

Cheers,
Mark
