In fact, I explicitly do ``unset autologout'' in my .login. But whenever I rlogin to a FreeBSD host and leave the connection idle, the peer resets the connection after random amounts of time---or maybe at a fixed time each evening. But only if there's no activity. Go figure. It could be my service provider, too (ppp). And, no, I'm not using rlogind -n. Any hints? I've never investigated it since it's a really minor inconvenience. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back? -- Steven Wright
