Hi all,
I have recently discovered a nifty trick to speed up your home LAN. The
following commands increase the maximum send window and the memory
reserved for TCP buffers in the kernel. (I have put these in
/etc/conf.d/bootmisc so they will be there next reboot.)

It is worse if you use Windoze. Then your boot-partition must be a

Yes, it likely has something to do with it. hdX5 is the first partition
inside the extended one. However, if file finds the reiserfs on hda6 but
not on hda5 then it's not looking far enough into hda5.

It depends on how your system is set up. For example on my
system /dev/hda3 is a symlink and you need to use -L to follow it:

Correct, that is what /etc/sysconfig/ssh is for. Mine didn't have
anything in it on 9.1 though (or 9.2).

Wow, thanks Nick! You can leave out the -L though, but need the -s.
It consistently fails on hdX5:

It may well be correct that there is a boot sector, but it fails to find
the reiser partition, like in
/dev/hdc6: ReiserFS V3.6
Doh!
The ssh -D option does what I want, and works!
I've modified /etc/init.d/sshd to add the -D option when it starts

All works now. Can start and stop and check status with the rc scripts.
