I tried that but you still see the GTM>1h displayed under stock FreeBSD 6.1, i386. > GNU screen (http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/) may be a way to deal > with the occasional connection freezing or dropping. That is a great idea! Then I could just resume the session later on a different terminal. Of course I would still like to know if this behavior, i.e. the ssh lockups that I see from console sessions, is hardware (switch-network adapter-cabling, bus, heat etc..) or software related. (send or recv issues or the myriad of possible adjustments to the application or network layers) As time allows I will try to figure it out and report back. Overall I really like to use Debian-Stable as much as possible (the rapidity and package management of security updates being the star feature) however when it comes to networking features and internals and overall system documentation and cohesiveness FreeBSD wins. To really understand something about networks or security I often I will read the FreeBSD manual or better yet the FreeBSD and OpenBSD man pages, which are an invaluable resource. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi -- Ismet B.
