Ok guys, I looked in my nsswitch.conf, and found nis/nisplus
everywhere. I do not run NIS, and as such I've removed all
references. Thanks to everyone who sent a reply. I don't know
if it worked yet or not because I'm in 2.2 right now. I do know
that under 2.2 when I untar linux, it is not slow, and it has
UID/GID 1046 or something close... If I have trouble still I'll
try and resolve it, and post again if necessary.

Thanks all.
