OK - a bit more. In a Windows XP virtual machine running on the Linux client, Putty makes a connection and gets a password response instantaneously. File transfer over SSH using WinSCP achieves 2MiB/s.
On the Linux client itself,(Ubuntu 9.10, patched) fish achieves about 1MiB/s and the response for SSH logon is about 15 seconds. "FileZilla" on the Linux client claims two threads at about 7.8MB/s each on an SSH connection. File transfer over SMB share which is mounted to the linux client, achieves about 30MiB/s. The server has "michelle" in the hosts file and can resolve the name. Pings are happening quickly and all interfaces confirm running at 1Gb/s full duplex. The resolv.conf file has the entries it picked up from the router via DHCP, namely the domain name and the two ISP supplied DNS servers. The system is barely using any swap and is more than 90% idle, however, it is a single core processor. So, the whole range of results is confusing me. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
