login seriously broken

[Tomasz Pala]

I'm having difficulties during local logins. It manifests by long (about
6 seconds and longer, sometimes much longer) delays when logging in from
tty5-tty8. After checking logs, PAM, stracing and other voodoo I've found
that it's caused by ...DNS lookups of ttyX.domain which obviously would
not work and timeout without network available.

Name        : login                        Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 2.14.2                            Vendor: (none)
Release     : 2                             Build Date: Wed Feb 18 21:21:20 2009
Install Date: Fri Feb 27 16:36:42 2009      Build Host: pld-builders

query.log.0:21-Mar-2009 14:34:36.561 client xx.xx.x.xx#32778: view public: query: tty8.xxxxxxxx.pl IN A +
query.log.0:21-Mar-2009 14:34:36.562 client xx.xx.x.xx#32778: view public: query: tty8.xxxxxxxx.pl IN AAAA +


Older login is even more fucked:

Name        : login                        Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 2.12r                             Vendor: (none)
Release     : 10                            Build Date: Wed Jul 23 00:49:57 2008
Install Date: Thu Nov 27 03:24:49 2008      Build Host: oberon-pld

having login delays and DNS lookups too... WTF?
