Running 2.1R, when I login on a virtual console it creates a bit of network
activity (name lookup would be my wild guess), which triggers ppp to dial.
The more annoying aspect of this is that it creates a delay in logging in
while the connection is made. This happens after the "You have new mail"
message but before .cshrc is executed. When I login from the local
"network" (a null-modem SLIP connection to another machine), the modem
doesn't dial and there is no login delay.
I logged in from the console just after rebooting the system and dumped the
named database, but I didn't find anything in there that I don't have in my
named configuration files. I have some CNAMEs to external hosts, but I
don't know why they'd be referenced at this particular point.
Any ideas?
