I have noticed a behaviour of fedora core (5 or 8) not sure which
version, which I would like to stop. If I login on, when the computer
has Internet access, the process happens fairly quickly. If the
computer does not have Internet access, the process takes a few minutes,
considerably longer than if it does have Internet access.

What is going on, more importantly I do I stop this?

Try disabling sshd's DNS lookups in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (uncommment
'UseDNS no').

Make sure that /etc/nsswitch has
hosts files dns
and not
hosts dns files

is a start.

Thanks, this was one was correct:
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files dns

I never thought of this so i did a grep on the directory (/etc) and this
is the result:

grep dns *
jwhois.conf: ".be$" = "whois.dns.be";
jwhois.conf: ".hr$" = "www.dns.hr";
jwhois.conf: ".lu$" = "whois.dns.lu";
jwhois.conf: ".pl$" = "whois.dns.pl";
jwhois.conf: ".pt$" = "whois.dns.pt";
jwhois.conf: ".com.uy$" = "dns.antel.net.uy";
jwhois.conf: "www.dns.hr" {
jwhois.conf: "dns.antel.net.uy" {
krb5.conf: dns_lookup_realm = false
krb5.conf: dns_lookup_kdc = false
Binary file ld.so.cache matches
ltrace.conf:int waddnstr(addr, string, int);
nsswitch.conf:# dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
nsswitch.conf:#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
nsswitch.conf:hosts: files dns
Binary file prelink.cache matches
readahead.early.files:/lib/libnss_dns.so.2
readahead.files:/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/components/necko_dns.xpt


I left out the results from services

If you're just logging in, the only thing the host really needs is to
be able to authenticate you. So if you have local authentication, a
local home directory, and no network drives that need to be mounted,
it should work without a network connection.


If it's a DNS issue, something has to be looking to resolve a name.
You don't need name resolution to log in unless you authenticate to
NIS or LDAP (or something similar), or are requesting some network
storage. If you're checking nsswitch.conf, I would check the passwd,
group, shadow and automount lines.

Add your server to it's own host file (/etc/hosts) once it resolves itself will login much quicker. I had the same issue, while running a kickstart server on one of my servers and it took forever to login, and the issue was the dhcp server i had running for kickstart, was the first nameserver in the /etc/resolv.conf. The host file fixed it.
