AIX

When I use SecureCRT software to connect with AIX servers, don't know why sessions always be kicked out from the SecureCRT if I don't do anything in a few minutes. I think this maybe the SecureCRT configuraiton problem, Who knows how to keep session conect even through I don't do anything?

if I use putty,

It just sits there for 2 or 3 minutes and then pops up the following error message:


Error Title:
PuTTY Fatal Error


Error String:
Network Error: Software caused connection abort

The AIX account probably has the TMOUT environment variable set:

Code:

echo $TMOUT

If it shows a number > 0 then that is the number of seconds of inactivity before you are logged off. This is a shell feature, not part of putty or Secure CRT.

# echo $TMOUT
0

Next try either enabling the putty log and the secure CRT log.

When you get bumped off, open the log(s) in an editor, go towards the bottom of the file and look to see what/why disconnection occurred
