Hi,
I cracked it...

conf t
line console 0
exec-timeout <minutes>

1440 would change the period to 1 day (24 x 60)

..i think this will keep it up for internity

perimeter_router(config)#line console 0
perimeter_router(config-line)#exec-timeout 0 0

No, the correct command is:

exec-timeout 0 1

;-)

(I'm just kidding - he's right - don't ever, ever, ever do what I typed above)

I love those 1 sec timeouts. This is a classic trick for newbies. I generally use this setup

exex-timeout 30 0 for thirty minutes
