Depending on whats up, it could be several things. If it takes forever
to connect, it could be trying to resolve names for IP's with no PTR
records. Or it could be something as simple as a commented out line
in inetd.conf, or something disallowing the connection in /etc/hosts.*.
I dunno. Bust out the rune stones and chicken bones. See whats up on
http://satanic.org. Perhaps an invocation to Belial is in order.
