If you're talking about the rx nat keepalive ping (they appear as "rx version reply" packets on the wire), it's only supposed to be once every 20 seconds. I believe there were issues before where that would be done for _every_ connection to the fileserver, but I thought it was fixed... somewhere (possibly post-1.6.0?).

If they are the nat keepalive pings, they're just for keeping port mappings open for nats and stateful firewalls and such. There should be a way to turn them off, but I don't believe there is right now. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
