This kind of delay is often a result of the process trying to access some remote filesystem. Or, maybe you have DNS problems on the server. > And another pretty strange thing: the /var/log directory contains a > file "lastlog" of size 445 Megabytes (445916640). That size is not overly surprising. The size of the lastlog file depends on the highest uid used to login into the system. In your case you seem have pretty large uids. Every uid slot in lastlog takes 276 bytes. So you had login attempts from a user with a uid 1615639.
