That is very reproduceable if you connect just one client and do a "tcpdump -i eth0 | grep '.nfs'" on the server. I've done the test on my side, and can confirm this. Not that I have any idea what's triggering it. I can confirm that this is the same regardless of wether /etc/exports is written with ro or rw, and ditto for sync or async So it's back to square one. :-( Not quite, at least we ruled something out, and can now look for the cause in other places. hi there. I have also done some tests out of pure curiosity. I'm  running a remote session on a Linux box and the using tcpdump from the clientside. The draffic is overwhelmingly (as expected)  X tcp port based and the traffic is application specific. For example - with KDE desktop in an idle state most of the traffic is generated by kclipper and kwindow. Don't think this kind of traffic can be avoided though - its part of the way ltsp is supposed to work. regards, Eugene Web -> www.reedflute.com ===============================================
