Telnet time out
I also have a problem regarding telnet time out(the server is a p5 520 OS is AIX 5.2):
After telneting to the server, if inactive for more than 20 minutes the session is "closed by foreign host". Where is this timeout value set? I've looked at the /etc/profile and the TMOUT variable is commented out and an echo of TMOUT show a value of 0...which appears to mean "no time out set". We suspect that the new F5 switch is causing the problem, not the OS. Were else can I look?
