FC2 Slow boot after network setup -

[Bob Goodwin]

I'm not sure what I've done but suddenly the time to boot has gone from 
about two minutes to what seems like about five minutes more. Toward the 
end of the boot process it dwells on starting ntpd, starting sendmail, 
and starting smb-client. The rest of the boot process seems normal.

I was setting up a second computer with FC-2 for the grandsons and 
decided to make a simple network to pass files between them and to print 
from this one. After that exercise the slow boot seems to have shown up 
on both. Other than that everything seems to work nicely making it a 
non-problem I suppose, more an abnormality?

Both are old Pentium class computers with 300 - 400 megs of RAM.

Any suggestions appreciated.
