Slow login with rexec.

Hi all,
I´m replacing an old linux enterprise redhat 4.5 by a new one linux enterprise redhat 6.
In both I use rexec as a communication between the front end and the user.

In the old one, when the user connects, the communication establishes quickly (less than 3 sec). But in the new one, the communication establishes very slow (30 sec. aprox.).

I have reviewed the configurations and the only difference is:
in the old one, the parameter of log_on_success += USERID and log_on_failure += USERID does not exists.
But if I disable those parameters in /etc/xinet.d/rexec in the new one, I can not log.

Anybody have faced a similar problem?
Thanks in advance
Code:
# default: off
# description: Rexecd is the server for the rexec(3) routine.  The server \
#       provides remote execution facilities with authentication based \
#       on user names and passwords.
service exec
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.rexecd
        disable                 = no
        server_args             = -D
}

Hello,

in Suse (SLES) it's:
Code:
# default: off
# description:
# Rexecd is the server for the rexec program. The server provides remote
# execution facilities with authentication based on user names and
# passwords.
#
service exec
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        flags           = NAMEINARGS
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        group           = root
        log_on_success  += USERID
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        server          = /usr/sbin/tcpd
        server_args     = /usr/sbin/in.rexecd
        disable         = no
        instances       = 1
}

Maybe you'll Need some more Parameters in the new one.

Regards
