There's a fuser in the psmisc package, but the latest version doesn't work as expected, downgrading to the previous psmisc package helps for now. But I don't think this will help you here. > If you're speaking about "process", do you mean the "sshd" process? Any process on the server started during login. > And what could be a reason for it to access any remote file system? Most likely it's something in your login scripts. For instance, consider expressions like this: my_path=/foo ls /$my_path This results in a `ls //foo' call. // is the top-level of all UNC network paths.

I'm not an expert, but any kind of DNS communication problem can result in delays trying to resolve a machine name. I don't know, it's just some arbitrary idea for the potential cause of a spurious delay.
