Re: Telnet Operation Timed Out
Yes it was a good question, and my connections timeout faster than before. I don't think you can do something like that with ipfw. But I might be wrong, Perhaps, you can find a telnet client that suits your needs. BTW I think an overall TCP connection timeout set to 10 seconds is a good idea. But then again you might have problems with overloaded sites. That would be very rare, though. Cheers, NikV On Wednesday 14 April 2004 20:55, Holtor wrote: Nikos, Thank you so much!

Telnet Operation Timed Out
Hello All, How can I change the default telnet timeout value when connecting to remote hosts? For example: # time telnet -N 1.2.3.4 Trying 1.2.3.4... telnet: connect to address 1.2.3.4: Operation timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host 0.000u 0.008s 1:15.01 0.0% 0+0k 1+0io 6pf+0w The timeout seems to be 75 sec, how can we make this 15 or 30 seconds? I have been searching google to no avail but did get hints that this might be a TCP default of somekind. If anyone has any idea please do e-mail back but include my in the reply as I'm not yet subscribed to the list. Thanks, Holt G. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Telnet Operation Timed Out
You can change the non-established-connection-timeout using sysctl net.inet.tcp.keepinit=value. The default is 75000, at least on FreeBSD-4.9, which is probably a lot.

Re: Telnet Operation Timed Out
The timeout seems to be 75 sec, how can we make this 15 or 30 seconds? I have been searching google to no avail but did get hints that this might be a TCP default of somekind. IMHO it's TCP, nothing to do with telnet itself, Perhaps you can use a sysctl command to extend the tcp timeout value. (I just looked but i could not find one that should do the job.) but that might also tell one that tcp values are default, a timeout always occurs in x seconds (where x is staticly defined).
