This still does not solve the slow telnet response time on the part of
RedHat v6.0 and Redhat v5.2 for systems that do not have a DNS entry.

Note - Login DOES occur - it just takes a minute or two for the login:
prompt to come up after telneting the system.

I saw a fix posted for it once, but since I had DNS set up and running
properly, I capture it.  Perhaps someone still has it.
