Maybe autolog, it's in hamm too though. autolog - Terminates connections for idle users - Tom

Hello: I remember this problem. I think there is something in one of the crontabs in /etc. Check it out in there.

I don't have this problem, and I haven't installed idled: Description: Idle Daemon. Removes idle users. Idled is a "daemon" that runs on a machine to keep an eye on current users. If users have been idle for too long, or have been logged on for too long, it will warn them and log them out appropriately. -- __ \/ o\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Edinburgh fetish club Permission \ / /\__/ Paul Crowley Nov 8 http://www.hedonism.demon.co.uk/permission /~\

login time limits in slink???
anyone know what it is in slink which is enforcing idle-timeout and daily time limits on serial lines? i've hunted all over (even to the point of grepping every file in /etc, /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin) for it and can't find it anywhere. how do i turn it off? i don't want time limits. craig -- craig sanders
