> I hope I'm addressing this question to the correct authority. Anyway, I'm fairly new to the world of Unix, and I must admit that I'm having a great time exploring this powerful OS. I'm learning many concepts that I took for granted because the marketing machine at mircosoft had convience me that I need not know the under belly of my NOS to properly administor it -- well, they're wrong! > > Using FreeBSD has given me a taste of the OS and an appreciation of the effort of so many talented individuals who have contributed greatly to this OS. As a C/C++ programmer, I am awaiting the day when I understand the OS enough to offer assistance in expanding its capabilities and user base in the future. But until that day comes, I'll have to rely on USER groups and correspondence with the true power users for clarification and understanding... > > So, let me begin with a question. I have setup a simple DNS server using FreeBSD. I used the instructions from the tutorial section of the FreeBSD web site -- and I was successful with the configuration. My next goal was to be able to Telnet to my FreeBSD box and perform some routine get to know your NOS stuff. I can telnet there, but there is a long delay before I recieve the login prompt. I'm sure this delay is not normal, but Ic an't seem to find what's causing the delay. > > Any suggestions??? > > > Thanks, This is often caused by a DNS problem. Did you setup a reverse DNS entry for the PC you are telneting in from? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
