RE: CVS slowness issues

[Ryan Petrie]

Larry,

Thanks a lot for your help and your reply.  It's working now, and though 
it's not a problem with CVS, I thought I'd share the solution in case 
anyone else runs into this.

I checked netstat and it reported no dropped packets or errors at all. 
 Then I tried FTPs to and from the box, and you were right -- in one 
direction it was fine, but the other hung just like CVS did.  After finding 
that out and a bit of searching, I found a Samba FAQ that said some 
slowness issues with Samba were caused by a buggy glibc-2.1 distributed 
with Redhat 6.1.  I found an update, plugged it in, and whamo -- it worked. 
 We run Caldera's eServer 2.3, and it seems to be based on Redhat 6.1.

Thanks again for the help!

Ryan
