Hi guys,
Please bear with me

i have a sco 5.0.6 openserver i'm telnet in to it. (via dsl)
After 7 minutes it will kick me out of my program.

Is there any settings that i need to change in order to stop the time out problem.

I dont have any router or hub (dsl modem to nic card )

Also i tried modem in to the server , login as root and it will desconect me if i'm idle for 7 minutes and 40 seconds .

If someone please could help me with this.

Thanks a lot guys

What are you telnetting from? What program are you using?

I'm using tiny term plus edition.

Thanks a lot man ' i'm really going crazy about this.

I can't believe I can't find something better to do at work...

I figured beforehand that it's probably a setting in OpenServer that is disconnecting you, but I downloaded tiny term anyway and tried looking for some sort of timeout option.. didn't find any. I'm not sure what that setting is in OpenServer though, sorry..

Thanks a lot anyway man , apreciate it.

Check out this link from PCUNIX.com - it mentions a few different ways of timeouts being set. You would first need to see if they are being used to figure out how to change the timeout.

Hi,
I login just to see that the issue on the above had been closed pls could you permit me to contribute my quota to this issue:

you either correct your idle time from /etc/default/idleout

or you go through the sysadmsh and select;
system then configure then logout and enter your idle time

Thanks
