hmmm, if anyone can suggest anything: re: rh9., dsl + firewall and delays in connections to a unix server while using (default RH9.0) ssh I have tried to turn *off* the firewall setup during installation (original choices were: Medium security while allowing ftp, ssh, but not telnet) -- neither lokkit nor setup seems to change (the respective settings) no matter what option I choose. Right now when using ssh something causes stalls...it can be minutes before a keystroke will register. I don't know if it is the ssh progam that is default with RH9.0...no one else logging in the unix system I am logging into has reported such problems. (note: I have multiple win boxes on same router which experience no such delays while connected contemporaneously to same unix server) ? anyone have any suggestions? I don't really know the ins and outs of iptables (networking) and the like, but can extemporize... Thanks in advance mgolter PS I am gonna go on-line and look, but if anyone has a suggestion/recommendaton re: a good ssh program that allows backspacing (I am a horrible typist and am tired of re-typing a line 3,000 times when ftping over ssh!), a name would be appreciated! ;P
