KDE startup slowly on "initializing system service"

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Teodor,

FreeBSD 5.2
========

I encounter the same problem. KDE starts very slow, first popup desktop 
icrons, bottom tool-bar, welcome screen, etc., one by one taking 
prolonged time. Starting K package from desktop also takes lengthy time 
to start.

Immediate after installation from CD1 completed it worked perfectly. 
After playing around to configure network card, ppp, etc. KDE starting 
became terrible slow.

I changed
:: 1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.01 localhost localhost.my.domain

to
:: 1 localhost.localdomain
127.0.01 localhost.localdomain

It complained at booting with following warning;
....
Starting sshd.
554 5.3.0 host "localhost" unknown: Invalid argument
..... sm-mta[432]: NOQREUE: SYSERR(root) :host "localhost" unknown: 
Invalid argument
.....

Kindly advise how to fix the problem

TIA
