My 1.1 system doesn't suffer from this, it seems. On the ones running
-current do.

Our nameserver is in the local ethernet, so there should be no delays
reaching it. Also, I don't see these hangs when I use 'su', only when
I 'rlogin'.
Besides, it seems that there's no problem with telnet logins, only with
rlogin. Does this ring the bell?
