yeah, i know about idled. i even package a similar daemon for debian (timeoutd). i don't have idled or timeoutd or anything similar installed on the machine in question. that was the first thing i thought of. this idle timeout only seems to occur for logins on a serial line (both terminal and ppp logins), never on console or a pty. thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't help. this problem seems specific to slink...perhaps a new login binary does it. craig -- craig sanders
