I reported this problem to Apple a few months ago but didn't receive any official answer. I then moved to OS X Tiger, so I haven't experienced this anymore. I guess that, since Apple Developers have been agressively been working on OS X 1.4 and OS X 1.5, this issue has been ignored. Hi, Trevor.

Yesterday I was in a lab that I'd updated to 10.3.9 and my solution for the users to speed up login had been to force quit the finder - bit exteme but it was taking a few minutes to login every user. Force quitting would fix the computer for the day so long as it wasn't turned off. I had read somewhere it was a dns problem so I changed from dhcp to manual and figured out that it was only a problem when I had the dns server ip entered. This lead me to check the log file on the OS X server what we are using for dns. It had a query for idisk.mac.com! I added another zone for mac.com and the login is now what you would expect. My question is who else knows about this and how many other people are pulling their hair out over it...does apple even know??? cheers Trev I’ve been looking for a solution to this slow login problem forever and finally figured it out.
