Re: ftp slow to open connection

Some results.

Did not improve the connection time.

Neither machine has ip filtering enabled. (but just to make sure is there a 
quick way to check? On 7.1 I did an ipfw but 'command not found' since I 
chose to install without the firewall option).

>(You can change your xinetd configuration to not log USER

Would that make big difference? The problem I have is that I don't even get 
asked for a username for about 30 seconds. After I do issue the ftp command 
I have to wait about 30-60 secs for something to come back.
