Greetings, After scouring the archives (I am new here) I did not find anything similar to this problem, so I am posting it here. I've installed ssh2 on DEC Alpha OSF1 V4.0 using "--enable-debug --with-x" It seems to be working, but something is slowing the ssh connections down. (I am not using compression ... I have tried "compression yes" and the connection is no different). The data transfer rate is much slower using an ssh conection than when using an rsh connection ... for example I cannot run an "xemacs" window through ssh because it is painfully slow, while when using rsh it is fine. Below is a sample (ssh -v) session. Thanks for any help, Barry localhost 101: ssh -v remotehost debug: hostname is 'remotehost'. debug: connecting to remotehost... debug: entering event loop debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating transport protocol debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating userauth protocol debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:592: Remote version: SSH-2.0-2.0.13 (non-commercial) debug: Host key found from the database. debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:154: special packet received from connection protocol: 3 debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:154: special packet received from connection protocol: 4 debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:796: adding keyfile "/home/somewhere/dec41/someone/.ssh2/id_dsa_1024_a" to candidates someone's password: debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:154: special packet received from connection protocol: 6 debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:304: client_authenticated debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:466: num_channels now 1 debug: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
