telnet issues

Hello List,

before I send a PR, maybe some of you can comment this:

With the sources from today, an initial telnet login
(insecure) now
takes at least 11 seconds to establish.

If you login from a windows client:
C:\ telnet mu.aydogan.net
<screen goes blank>
<waiting 11 seconds...>
NetBSD/i386 (mu.aydogan.net) (ttyp1)
login:

if you are on NetBSD
$ telnet -X sra mu.aydogan.net
<waiting 7 seconds...>
Trying 192.168.0.201.
Escape charakter is '^]'.
<wating another 10 seconds...>

NetBSD/i386 (mu.aydogan.net) (ttyp1)
login:

that is 17 seconds in total to wait. Any clue why ?

Greets, Zafer.

ps: I have removed "-a valid" from telnetd in
inetd.conf to enable telnet.

Delays like that on connection establishment are often
indicative of
DNS configuration problems.  Try using tcpdump on the server
side to
look at port 53.
