HPUX 11:00 Telnet TImeout

LG Porter — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 14:43:02 GMT

Is there a configuation parameter that controls how long a telnet session stays open? My telnet sessins keep timing out and I would like to know if there is a configuration setting that controls how long a sessions stays open.

TMOUT=0
This should disable the timeouts.

LG,

TMOUT works when you are IDLE at a shell prompt.

If you are being logged out and your session isn't "idle", then you need to look at where you are telnet'ing from, routers, firewalls, etc...

Only if you got TMOUT set to a value. If not they should not be timing out. Check DOCID=KBRC00000118 which talks about how to check if TMOUT is set or not and how to modify it's value if you want to use the feature.

If that does not apply to you, this might be the telnet issue itself, check for patches related to telnet (make sure you got the latest).

Hi
Check $TMOUT at your shell for shell idle time out value.

set TMOUT=0 for no time limit.
