It wasn't slow, it never did anything more. No big deal (for me) though. Fedora 13 gave me a little trouble on my VMware setup, but I'm up and going now. No openssl warning on connecting. I'm running the very low tech script below. I'll throw a couple sporadic large file transfers in there as well. How does it handle failed network connections? Does it try and reconnect, or should I put in a cron job that checks a ping and then restarts the connection if it is down? for i in {1..50000} do date >>/script/pingcheck ping -c 2 10.85.0.1 >>/script/pingcheck sleep 30 done
