login timeout using telnet

[Klaus Crusius]

I am working on a HPUX11.0 trusted system. When I start a telnet session from a remote PC, after starting typing the first character of the user name, I have approximately 5 seconds to enter the complete user name and password. If I am late, I receive a
"Login timed out
Wait for login exit: ..."
This time is not sufficient if the remote line is slow (VPN over ISDN, a second session is busy).
Is it possible to change that value? The login security parameters which cn be changed with SAM do not apply.

Hi

try


1) Install patch PHCO_25590
2) vi /etc/default/security and add the following:
TEST_LOGIN_TIMEOUT_LEN=120
^^^

Create if it does not exist.

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 25 Nov 7 2001 security

After installing the patch and creating the /etc/default/security file with the recommended entry, nothing seemed to change, but the timeout value, which is was seconds.
I found in /tcb/files/auth/system/default an entry "t_login_timeout#10". After chnaging that to "...20" the timeout occurs after 20 seconds.
