When logging-in to my Cygwin telnet server, running inetutils 1.5-6 (see attached cygcheck.out) the time between my entering the user password and getting the motd output and a bash prompt is about 17 seconds. This is so either when I login from a cygwin prompt in another Windows machine on the LAN or from a Linux machine on the LAn or from a cygwin prompt on the server machine, using "telnet localhost". There is only one subnet: 192.168.0.0/24 Looking for solutions in the cygwin mailing list I did resolve the sluggishness in telnet presenting the user-name prompt while applying the suggestion in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00277.html (on this topic, may I suggest that "mkpasswd -l" generates automatically a home directory for the SYSTEM account, e.g. /tmp, as described in that post - that way we don't have to do this manually or go through the research stage repeatedly). But the sluggish startup after I enter the password remains. It doesn't seem to be sluggishness in the password authentication itself: if I enter a wrong password, the error response comes immediately. It is only when authentication succeeds, and a session is set up, that it takes long time. To save some questions and answers that were mentioned in other threads: 1. the Cygwin inetd service does not have "Allow service to interact with desktop" checked. 2. the primary DNS suffix of this computer is set to my local domain name. No combination of setting or unsetting of the above made a difference. I tried all the 4 combinations. Also, following various suggestions in postings for sluggish SSHD, I installed and setup (correctly, for all I can see) a caching DNS server (ISC BIND 9.6.1) to enable quick reverse DNS lookups. While the BIND server is clearly active and doing its job (easy to check with the supplied "dig" command-line utility) its presence or lack thereof changed nothing. I can stop the BIND server and remove the preferred reference to it in my "Connection" TCP/IP configuration, or start the BIND and setup the localhost as the preferred DNS server: nothing changes. And yes, I configured the resolv.conf in \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc correctly too. Is there one more trick that I didn't find yet in the forum? If not, how can I discover where those 17 seconds are spent. For comparison, another Windows machine running the same version of Cygwin and inetutils (1.5-6) presents the bash prompt in a fraction of a second after entering the password. Thank you in advance for any suggestion or insight.
