veletron Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Right, I have since tried this on two further machines, with the same result. I have now tried with net adapters from three different manufacturers. Currently I have it running on a VM. I have observed the following: Telnet 192.168.20.3 143 --> I dont see the string from the IMAP server for about 30 seconds. IP is IP of local nic on linux box and I am entering commands from monitor/keyboard attatched to the back of the box. Telnet localhost 143 --> I see the IMAP prompt instantly < 0.5 secs. Whats the difference?? I assume that the former bounces off the nic? What the hek could be causing this? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I use realtek card (both the 8169 and 8139) and have no problems whatsoever. I'm willing to bet its a distro thing (the way mandriva have configured pam/auth what ever it is) Have you tried installing a different distro inside a vm?

veletron Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 MDK 9.1 worked fine, but people on here say they have 10.2 working with imap folders and zero delays as well, so I am at a loss. Will put 10.1 in a VM tomorrow and see if I see the same annoying issues! Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Just out of interest, have you tried Mandriva 2006 as well to see if the problems exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmcse Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 serach google for " xinetd imap delays " one result= top result QUOTE: This problem has been showing up quite frequently on systems which use xinetd instead of inetd. Look for files named /etc/xinetd.conf, /etc/xinetd.d/imapd, /etc/inetd.d/ipop2d, and /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3d. In those files, look for lines containing "USERID", e.g. log_on_success += USERID edit file: /etc/xinetd.d/imapd delay is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veletron Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 @ DDMCE I already tried that, no effect! (My 9.1 installation required the same) @ ianw1974 I am using Mandriva 2006 (10.2) so I can confirm that it occurs on this. I dont know whether same issues exist on Mandriva 10.1 Eventually, I gave up trying to fix this, and installed courier-imap instead. This worked out of the box with no delays and no issues. I was left with only sshd using xinetd, so I am now using the stand-alone version of sshd, and have disabled xinetd entirely. The once remaining issue that I am left with is slow login over SSH (works fine at the console). Over SSH there is a 15 second delay before I get a prompt after entering my password.
