Grex (today) is taking a very long time to connect when I dial in.

Connections via telnet have also seemed slower than usual, though
I have not attempted to measure the time.

I am still experiencing an extended wait between the time that I start
my ssh client (PuTTY) and the time I receive a login prompt from Grex.
Performance is more or less normal once I get logged in but it takes
quite a while for the login prompt to show up. While connecting to my
present session I timed it and it took 79 seconds before I got a prompt.
Any ideas?

I just opened another ssh1 terminal window to Grex, and it also took 79
seconds for the login prompt to appear.

Staff seems to have given up on commenting in this item. Maybe someone
will have to go prod them in coop or garage to find out what's actually
going on?

prod them in coop[, or in] garage... or in person.

Very consistent 78-79 second delay between welcome to Grex and login prompt
when I dial in.

Yeah, I was using m-net and forgot about the GreX window for a secONde.

Sounds suspiciously like it's waiting for a dead nameserver to time out.

re 217
Despit the staff being staff, Grex isn't their entire life. I'm sure
they'll comment when they have a few spare minutes.

Based on comments above, I took a look at /etc/resolv.conf, commented
out the loop-back address and restarted named. Now to see if it actually
makes a difference.

So far it does not seem to make a difference.

re #222:
> Sounds suspiciously like it's waiting for a dead nameserver to time out.
A not unreasonable guess but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Assuming a reasonable caching policy on Grex it wouldn't have fit
the pattern anyway, as it takes a long time to get the login prompt
every time one tries, not just the first time (after which, presumably
the value would be stored in the local cache.)

Doesn't seem to have.. (And I doubt that restarting named was necessary.)

It took a minute and 19 seconds to get a prompt just now. I really
hope this situation can be fixed soon.

Re #227, caching failed lookups is not universal. Some systems only
cache success, not failure.

I just measured the pause at about 78 seconds.
The temperature is 74. Winds are calm and
my disposition is sunny.
