From: kartikvashishta108 on
When I telnet to my system running Solaris 10, I get very slow initial
response times, and instead of the "login" prompt, the first prompt I
see is "password", this password prompt comes after a lo-ong
time.......I have to hit enter at that "password" prompt to get an
"incorrect password" message and then revert to the "login" prompt
where I supply my login credentials.....in short it is slow and it
starts with a "password" prompt not a "login" prompt.

Two thoughts...

The IP address you are connecting from takes a long time to either
reverse translate, or to timeout trying to doing so.

The telnet client you are using is sending across TELNET AUTHENTICATION
negotiation, probably passing whatever user name it thinks you are
using on the client system.

Thanks, for the second issue - the telnet client was indeed passing a
login name to the telnet session......I did telnet from a cmd prompt
and it showed up with the "login" prompt, so you were correct.

This leaves me with the slow response time, this setup is on a home
LAN, not sure what the issue could be, I'm able to telnet fine to
other systems, ping does not show any delays....

removed dhcp and gave it a static IP, the response time is good now

Make sure the IP addresses you dish out for DHCP can be reverse
translated on the server. If necessary, create /etc/hosts entries
for them all.
