RedHat Linux - ssh - screen display problem

I have installed RHEL 3 on a Compaq Server with 4 CPUs and 4GB RAM. My
problem is that commands like tar and unzip take forever. After a log
of troubleshooting I found out that the problem is with ssh and not
with tar or unzip. It seems as if the screen takes forever to dislpay
the contents being pushed out by the server. When I perform a "ls -ltRa
/" it goes on forever.

To ensure I am on the right track I installed a telnet server and
retried the above commands - they completed in record time !!

Has anyone come across this problem and knows of a solution.

PS : I am using WinPutty to access the Linux box.

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 4)
# uname -r
2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp
# rpm -qa | egrep "tar|unzip"

tar-1.13.25-13

# rpm -qa | grep -i ssh

openssh-server-3.6.1p2-33.30.3
openssh-clients-3.6.1p2-33.30.3

# cat /etc/resolv.conf

You could well eliminate ssh and use telnet at this point. winputty has
several security flaws, not to mentions problem like that mentioned.

Connect from a linux box and see the difference.

As an intermediate solution uses "screen" and leaves the session
detached, later resumes the session...

^^^^^^^^

There's the problem, install a recent version or another OS.

Good luck

Weird. This person is posting from individual.net, which hides
their IP, and then using a PGP sig to make it seem like they
are being up front and honest.

I guess they think we are all idiots.

Shall I create a key pair using his/her name and the info
on their keyserver and then upload it to a different keyserver?

Take about 5 minutes.

Then _I'd_ be "Alo" too.

<snicker>

At least he's too ignorant to be dangerous.

I believe that I will do my part to keep him that way
by not helping him with any questions he posts.

He posts mostly on Spanish computer groups and there's only 139 posts
under this alias since 2001.

Bet you anything this is that clown Jose Maria Lopez

JMLH likes to crosspost to computer groups...
And posts mostly on Spanish computer groups, dropping by
here and other English computer groups occassionally...

What is `WinPutty'? Is this something different from PuTTY
[ http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ ], or is it
just an unusual name for the same software?

If it is PuTTY, what version? Also, have you tried using the same
software but in Telnet mode (to test whether it's PuTTY in general,
or SSH in particular, that's causing the problem)?

I use one of the VNC flavors to access my Linux Remote Desktop and Shared
Desktop on my laptop. You can either access through a web interface or
through the VNC software. I have had the same problems with my Suse 9.2 box,
I can log in through text and try to startx and get all kinds of errors. I
found one that works, it was on an older version of Red Hat 7.3 Kssh.
