The latency only exists during the login and authentication; then about 30 seconds elapses before the login is completed. The slowness in echoing characters back to the screen occurs during the login/authentication process. After the login is completed, speeds accessing files or services are a bit sluggish, but nominally normal. However when I boot the machine directly into X (/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemaon), not only is the login process terribly slow, but the loading of the desktop (from the remote home directory) and the execution of any of the desktop programs is/are so slow as to be unusuable.

That doesn't make much sense at all, assuming you're on a local console. If you're telnetting into the server, it sounds like bad packet loss. Try tcpdumping the telnet port on both client and server and see what both ends are doing. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
