Hi, I was wondering if any of you can help me with this problem: I work for a university and we have many pc's in our internet labs, we are using FreeBSD 2.2.8 for clients and one server, the server is an Pentium II 400MHz, 64MB RAM, HD 8 GB. The clients are Pentium 200MMX with 32MB RAM. The server have the roles of NFS, NIS and SMB server. We use NFS to mount the home partition to all clients, we use NIS to authenticate any user in any client and use SMB when the client is not in FreeBSD but in Windoze. All this have the intention to use a more secure and more flexible administration and control issues. So when a client launches FreeBSD in any client the waiting time is very big but the real problem is when the user log in, he/she has to wait too a very large amount of time, when the user is logged in, he opens any program and it lock up (not the machine but the app). I was experimenting with this so i perform in a client an simple command in any user's home dir: time ls (0:00.24) and time ls -l (RPC time out). This is a little bit strange because ls i think uses NFS without problem but ls -l uses NFS and NIS (i think). This happens with any number of users logged in (form 1 to a max. of 60 users that are at the same time logged in). The SMB daemon works perfectly with any number of users. I will apreciate your help. Thanks you. Otto E. Solares To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
