After four times of trial for login and the password is incorrect, the system will disconnect the connection. Is there anyway to do it? And I just wonder if I can also set the idle time for a telnet user? For example, can I set the length of the idle time before the system kick out a user for not active in the system? Thanks for reply. rgd, Derek Stonebrother Newbie IN BSD
