From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Most of the files placed in /etc/xinetd.d by various daemons have lines like log_on_failure += USERID However, when connecting to any of these daemons from a machine without an identd daemon (Windows) you will experience a very long timeout while xinetd waits for a response. This identd lookup is entirely unneccesary for anything useful and should not be introduced when 90% of the machines that are likely to connect to Redhat servers will not be running identd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply attempt to connect to a daemon such as imap or pop on a Redhat server from a client without an identd daemon. Actual Results: Long hang while identd times out Additional info: I would recommend completely revamping the necessary xinetd.d config files to NOT include USERID or somehow make xinetd timeout after a short interval (0-5 seconds) when an identd lookup is not available. There is no good reason for the general case of client connections to experience a 30 second timeout because of an unneccesary identd lookup.
None of them are in xinetd - file them against the packages with this configuration.
