Timeout telnet session on Sco OpenServer 6.0
- Thread starter dellit
- Start date
It's absolutely normal, but it should timeout in 1 minute, not 5. That's assuming you meant your connection is sitting at the login prompt and you walk away.
If you are connected and running a telnet session, it shouldn't timeout with inactivity unless you have the "idleout" set (fairly rare, and not enabled by default).
There are other places along the communication route which could also timeout and kick you off.
