Yes on my slackware machine i have now seen that it works, i did not know it
was possable via login.defs. However on my Redhat machine which has 4.2 and
5.0 installed it does NOT work, possably for Redhat there needs to be
something else defined!!.
I have also read a few messages from debian users saying it works for them.
Anyway considering i dont need a longer login time, it could be that i am
over looking something.
