I just tracked this one down and since I havn't seen this mentioned
thought I'd mention it to save someone else the same trouble.

I installed linux-netscape (for the linux plugins), don't run
portmapper on this machine and do use log-in-vain.

Every time it tried to resolve anything I saw 6 or 7 hits on
localhost, rpc and it had to wait for something to time out before
getting the dns resolution and then working correctly ...

It turned out that
  /usr/compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf
had lots of entries for nis in it. I removed the nis entries and all
went back to as I'd expect.

Should these entries be there by default ?

P.
