10 second delay between login and shell prompt.

It's likely there's something in your .bashrc
or .bash_profile
. Or maybe some other startup file (/etc/profile
et al).

I've got a strange problem. After I enter my password on a debian 6.0 system, I get the motd but then there is a 5-10 second pause until I get a shell prompt. If I press ctrl-c during that pause the prompt comes up instantly. What could be happening here? Am I killing the login process? Why might it be taking so long to invoke bash? I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Admin over 12 yearsThanks, it was indeed in my .bashrc; bash-completion was the culprit
