I have been using an OBSD as nfs-server for a few years now pumping stuff to both other OBSD machines and Linux machines on 100mbit and i have around 12MB/sec. My server is an old 500mhz/192MB ram p3 using intel (em) nic and an cheap 5-ports cisco 100mbit switch. /etc/exports /home/stuff -mapall=dardos:ftpusers -alldirs -network 192.168.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 On client std mount: mount machine:/home/stuff /home/stuff What kind of speeds are you getting with ftp/http? I have the same 11-12MB/sec. I am however not even near that speed using scp, more like 6-7MB/sec and i guess the cpu is just too slow? Kind regards, Kalle
