It looks like that may be the case.. the hostname program certainly shouldn't take up so much CPU time, as it really doesn't do anything! One work-around is to set the hostname explicitly in Webmin so that it doesn't need to be looked up, which can be done in the Webmin Configuration module on the User Interface page. - Jamie > If it helps, I am running Gentoo (AMD64 SMP) and Webmin 1.250.
