This likely isn't your problem, because it would be too easy :-)  But in your
/etc/nsswitch.conf what do you have listed for the "hosts" entry?  I found I got a lot
of delays with logging in/out if I stuck with the defaults:

hosts:		files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

If you have a line that looks like above, try to simplify it with:

hosts:		files dns

I don't know why, but that eliminated all of my delays regarding log in/out.

Hope that helps,
Jim
