RE: [hobbit] SMTP and FTP Services Red

Did you try putting an entry for Hobbit server into their hosts files?  I
think the delay is from the Server trying to do a reverse lookup on the IP
Address.
 
 
You may also have to change the order in which they resolve DNS....
 
in /etc/nsswitch.conf (or whatever is appropriate for your distribution)
 
change from 
hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
to 
hosts:      files nisplus nis dns db

Subject: [hobbit] SMTP and FTP Services Red


Hello,
 
On a few of our servers the SMTP and FTP services are RED but when I telnet
to them, they do show the proper 220 status good. They are quite slow to
respond though, taking sometimes 10-15 seconds. Is there anyway to get
Hobbit to pause and wait for this? If not, how long does it wait before it
shows a red status? 
 
Thank you very much for your help.
