All, Today I upgraded my FC2 (now at kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2smp). I then went to test out the vsftpd server (default versions delived by Fedora installations and upgrades) I have running on it and I had a few problems that did not seem to be present when I installed the machine new + upgrade 1 month ago (kernel 2.2.6-1.494.2.2). The first post-upgrade transfer of 53 MB file size, from an XP client (smartftp) to the server, ran at 'normal' speeds (4700KB/s). The next transfer, also in the same direction, slowed to a crawl of about 22KB/sec. Nothing transfered at any speed after that! I rebooted the server, made sure i turned off iptables, and tried again. Same thing but even the first attempt was slow. I noticed I could get stuff off the server (opposite direction) at the normal rates. Booted to kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 (non smp) and the same thing. Booted to kernel 2.6.6-1.494.2.2 (smp?) and things seemed back to normal. Any thoughts? Any one else see this? Was there a vsftpd version upgrade recently? Thanks -- Roy
