<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For no apparent reason, ftp is taking a long time to authenticate. The initial connect speed is fine. This problem just started. We are on a local network, so any "traffic" shouldn't be an issue. Once connected, file transfer speed is correct.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This problem occurs whether using command line ftp, gftp, or Fetch (on mac platforms.)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I ran "top" to see if there is any load on the cpu, and there is no load. Drive space is fine, there is no swapping going on. I turned telnet on, at it seems to be slow as well. (I run with telnet, rlogin etc off.) Ssh connects normally.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any ideas?</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance.</FONT>
