A most interesting and informative answer, sir, but . . . >Hi Jonathan: >First of all your firewall was up? Yes?
The box is on an internal LAN. None of us cracked our system :-D Firewall is down for ease-of-use, since ultimate security on an internal test system is not of value at this time :-) >Did you check your own energy settings? Well, the point of my post was - I didn't know how to do that. I am used to using SuSE (mostly) and Debian (a little) and they don't have any go-to-sleep power saving enabled by default. And I am used to using YaST in SuSE to configure most things, so my question was simply: what is controlling the energy settings, and how do I configure it? I just didn't know what to look for. There doesn't seem to be any multi-purpose control center for that in Yellow Dog. If there is, I'd be please for someone to point out my error :-) I looked in the KMenu, and at everything named system-config-* and did not find anything that manages power/energy/sleep settings. >Perhaps you omitted to examine >your auto shutdown sequence?

I've never seen or heard of this before. The system was not "off", as soon as I moved the mouse it woke up and showed my desktop, and I was able to ping and log in through ssh again without doing anything more than moving the mouse. This is exactly the same behavior as under OS X - by default it goes to sleep and in sleep mode you can't access anything over the network. >You are probably realizing that tracking all this down -- after the >fact -- is a waste of time.

Silly energy saving rules are /exactly/ what I was looking for. > In short, start from scratch. This /is/ scratch ;-) I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my first post. In the mean time, I believe I have figured out what to change.
