You must be running Enhanced security. right?

Hi,

check if the environment variable TMOUT is set, not 100% sure about spelling. This terminates the shell after x seconds of inactivity.

greetings,

Michael

From ksh manpage:

TMOUT
If set to a value greater than 0 (zero), the shell terminates if a command is not entered within the prescribed number of seconds after issuing the PS1 prompt.
(Note that the shell can be compiled with a max imum bound for this value that cannot be exceeded.)

Thank you.TMOUT=0.

Thank you.I check the value of TMOUT,it is 0.

This can be a keepalive tcp setting, and can be set on the OS or on a router/switch.

You should verify keepalive tcp settings.

# sysconfig -q inet | grep keep

See the manuals for reference about how to configure the values.

Anyway, is good idea to have some session time control for security.
