login delay without Internet

[david brett]

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
