telnet idle timeout on Redhat kernel 2.4.35.4
Hello,
I've searched this forum for telnet idle timeout problem. I tried to set timeout parameters in /etc/profile
readonly TMOUT=10
export TMOUT
This doesn't work for Redhat kernel 2.4.35.4. It's really frustrating.
Can anybody tell me what else I could try?
Thanks a lot!

telnetrc
telnetrc(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual telnetrc(4)
NAME
telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.telnetrc
DESCRIPTION
The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session. It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
the user logging in.
The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect. A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands. These sub-
commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines. See telnet(1) for
a complete list of telnet subcommands.
To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
commands in the subsequent lines.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:
# Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
set echo
toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
set echo
mode line
toggle crlf
FILES
User-customized telnet startup values.
