  Modified:    usr.bin/w  w.c
  Log:
  When 'w' finds an IP address in the ut_host field, it attempts to do
  a gethostbyname() on it.  That can take a long time...  (especially
  if the reason the IP address is in there in the first place is because
  login/rlogind/telnetd couldn't find it either....)
  This patch reduces the gethostbyaddr lookup time to 2 seconds, the idea being
  that if the local nameserver knows the answer, it'll answer within that time,
  otherwise we dont care... :-)
  This change doesn't do anything about whether or not w should do this in the
  first place, but at least it will make the current behavior less painful.
