2000-09-03 Thread John Kennedy
I've been having a problem with the 2.4.0 series (tested most recently against test8-pre1)... there is a long (seems to be almost exactly ~60 seconds, but you have to be careful about racking up multiples) delay trying to make outgoing connections, including pings: root@pandora: time p
