Hi all;

I just put -current  (July 3) on my Cobalt Qube 2 using a netboot CD  
(these boxes have no CD drive).

Everything went great, it was a clean install onto a new HD, I have  
my old 1.6.1 that's a tiny bit mangled to fall back upon if need be.

I have one issue so far, that is just killing the box- I can telnet  
in fine and the system is super responsive, but any ssh connections  
are lagged to the point of being unuseable.  for exmaple, 45 seconds  
to ls /usr/pkgsrc/www.  Same with sftp file transfers.

I've updated sshd and openssl to the latest versions.

telnet through LAN or WAN is snappy.  ssh thru LAN side is fine.

file downloads from netbsd.org go super fast (thru WAN of course).

file transfers within the LAN (sftp user@192.168.0.5) go super fast.

file transfers from the WAN side (sftp user@host.domain) go at 2kb/ 
second (that's lower case b) or less.  The qube is a headless box,  
all transfers are coming from other CPUs in the LAN.

I've swapped cables but that doesn't help, and if it were a bad cable  
I'd expect slow transfers everywhere, and telnet not to work well,  
since telnet doesn't do well with packet loss at all.

I've got UseDNS no    set.

I've turned PAM off just in case, it was performing strangely for me  
under 1.6.1.

I'm connecting from OS/X terminal, and have tried setting my termcap  
to xterm, xterm-color, and vt100, in case it was something with the  
term choice.

I'm stumped!

This is using a Netgear MR814v2 router, I've changed from my old  
Netgear MR314 as the MR314 could not disable remote admin, people  
were always trying to telnet into it.    Throughput for everything  
else and other CPUs in the house  is super fast; it seems unlikely to  
be the router or cabling to me.

I guess I can download all the 2.0.2 release stuff and try that.   
But, others are using -current on this CPU family just fine, apparently.

I haven't tried building my own kernel, but I don't have any constant  
messages about my SCSI card as I did in 1.6.1.

Thoughts welcome.  I would especially appreciate ideas on system  
stats to look at, to tell me WHERE the lag is coming from.

thanks,

Brian
