I have seen syslogd slows a system while remote logging heavy loads of data. My system is serving files via thttpd, while also logging. I can telnet to the computer most of the time. Sometimes it blocks after I enter a username and password. I think the key has been the heavy load of logging to this computer, I have 20 other devices logging remotely to this central computer.
The computer logging all data is call syslog with the following parameters (This computers networking is slow while logging): /sbin/syslogd -rh The remote devices are setup this way: /sbin/syslogd -rh -p /tmp/log I hope this helps.
