Special Forums IP Networking All tcp/ip users are logged out Post 34808 by TRUEST on Thursday 13th of March 2003 12:07:19 PM

am not sure but I think the users are getting kicked of because of the default timeout value set in either the /etc/services file or /etc/inetd.conf file (not sure which one exactly. i'd have to check up on the files

anyway, in either one of the files listed above you might have to edit the lines pertaining to tcp/ip to contain a -t parameter. you include the -t to specify the amount of time users are allowed on a certain host before they are logged out. example

tcp nowait yadiyadiya yadiya -t1800
(not exactly what it would look like in your files but am just being too lazy to check up on the proper format)

this line specifies users are given 30 minutes to do whatever they goto do.

i mean, you can play around using this concept and things should work out

micro_proxy(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    micro_proxy(8)

NAME
micro_proxy - really small HTTP/HTTPS proxy SYNOPSIS
micro_proxy DESCRIPTION
micro_proxy is a very small HTTP/HTTPS proxy. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP/HTTPS proxy, in only 260 lines of code. To install it, add a line like this to /etc/inetd.conf: webproxy stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/micro_proxy micro_proxy Make sure the path to the executable is correct. Then add a line like this to /etc/services: webproxy port/tcp Change "port" to the port number you want to use - 3128, or whatever. Then restart inetd by sending it a "HUP" signal, or rebooting. On some systems, inetd has a maximum spawn rate - if you try to run inetd services faster than a certain number of times per minute, it assumed there's either a bug of an attack going on and it shuts down for a few minutes. If you run into this problem - look for syslog messages about too-rapid looping - you'll need to find out how to increase the limit. Unfortunately this varies from OS to OS. On Free- BSD, you add a "-R 10000" flag to inetd's initial command line. On some Linux systems, you can set the limit on a per-service basis in inetd.conf, by changing "nowait" to "nowait.10000".
