Yes - in my experience well set up NFS isn't slow, though you have to have very particular versions of Linux for it to all work properly. That said, NFS certainly has nothing to do with this. > Dropbear is executed from within the chroot, to avoid any problem. I > just don't understand why this close takes so much time. It isn't the close() taking time, it's the stuff happening before the close. strace -T would show you time time for the close() itself. [pid 12140] 0.001625 fork(Process 12171 attached ) = 12171 Process 12140 isn't very interesting, that's just the Dropbear listener. I think you want to see what process 12171 is doing. That would end up in a separate log file due to the -ff, do you still have that? The output of "ssh -vvv" to the host might be useful too. I still reckon it'll be big number crypto maths that's using CPU time - modems are slow and Dropbear isn't amazingly CPU efficient. Matt
