very slow login times

[Luis Montes]

My guess right now is that its neither  the network or the server.  
After you type in a user/password on the login screen, switch over to a 
different tty like ctl-alt-f8

I have this in my lts.conf:
[default]
    SCREEN_07=ldm   
    LDM_DIRECTX=True
    SCREEN_08=shell

run top during the slow login time and let me know if you also have  a 
pegged thin client.

This slow login time has to be a bug. I've been using ltsp for years and 
have never seen this before.
