Hello, We noticed exactly the same thing in our environment (also 389 1.2.5 on CentOS 5.5). Likewise, we now ssh -X to a local machine and run the console from there, instead of from the remote site. We chalked it up to latency in running a remote X session from a distant location, and since we can run the console locally, we never bothered to do any further research. Now that we're not the only ones to have experienced this behaviour, i wonder if there's not something more to it than simple "slow Internet"... Could you provide any further details about the state of the network(s) between your local and remote sites ? VPN ? -- Daniel Maher <dma + 389users AT witbe DOT net>
