BTW, I think I've found a solution to my SSH sessions freezing at "random"
It's discussed and explained in the thread here: http://bit.ly/5Kh2PE Summary: tcp window scaling* freaks out various types of old or stupid network equipment. To disable it on the offending system, issue the following command: sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0 I don't know exactly where the problem is occuring in my case, but issuing that sysctl on my laptop fixed the issue with ssh lagging to the systems behind the PIX at work... but ssh sessions to my linode server weren't fixed until I did it on that host as well. There's also an article on this issue here: http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/ * introduced in the linux kernel around 2004 but not turned on by default until around 2006 -- -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
