This gives us more room to breath with tty names, especially with drivers
that support large numbers of ports.. eg: specialix and digiboard.
This does not actually change the current tty names, it just allows room
for reporting more characters if the drivers use them.
a gethostbyname() on it. That can take a long time... (especially
if the reason the IP address is in there in the first place is because
login/rlogind/telnetd couldn't find it either....)
This patch reduces the gethostbyaddr lookup time to 2 seconds, the idea being
that if the local nameserver knows the answer, it'll answer within that time,
otherwise we dont care... :-)
This change doesn't do anything about whether or not w should do this in the
first place, but at least it will make the current behavior less painful.
