I get a simliar problem when I've just booted the machine... I've been trying to track it down, and have narrowed it down to NFS I think. When I get my "login:" prompt, I enter name+password, I get the "Last login xx/xx/xx" message, and then I sit there for anything up to a minute for it to log me on. If I remove nfsd and nfsiod from the startup scripts, it only take 5 or so seconds (innd causes this, but it's bearable).
I'm on a PPP link, so maybe it's trying to resolve something that's not there.
The other odd thing is if I boot into runlevel 5 and log in through XDM, there's no delay at all... spooky...

Does your BOIS do power management, such as spinning down your disks after a certain period of inactivity? If so part of the pause is when the disks are spinning up to access your filesystem. But, this should only take about 15 seconds or so. Peter P. Eiserloh ----------------
