Re: [cobalt-developers] slow FTP logins

["Dave" <maxdoubt@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Sorry you may see this post again as the first attempt is being held
for review since I changed e-mail addys and the one I used wasn't a
member of this list then.

Just a quick note that may help a few with *slowness* with FTP, e-mail
etc... If you are using a firewall on the machines that are logging
on,  make sure you have PORT 113 (Ident port) available.  Once I made
this change locally, FTP, SMTP, POP all were back to the speed one
expects.  A lot of services wait until it times out (the delay) if it
cannot gather this information from you.  Even connections like IRC
will now be faster...
