It doesn't *have* to take any longer. You have to wait for a timeout if the identd doesn't get an answer at all, which frequently happens since people set their firewall to DENY (or DROP). If you explicitly set port 113 to REJECT, the server will get an immediate rejection and you will get an immediate connection. -- Rodolfo J.
