And it happily ignored it. Argh.
Try to remove /etc/sysconfig/msec and then run 'msec 4' with set_shell_timeout(0) in /etc/security/msec/level.local. 'echo $TMOUT', and you will see it become 0. Be sure to check my last reply to you about how to correct the broken level.local file. > With all the problems I've been having (with things like this, with mailq > and newaliases being broken/missing, etc.), I'm seriously considering > scrapping it and falling back to 8.2.

Postfix has mailq and newaliases commands as sendmail. To avoid confusion, Mandrake renames them as mailq.postfix and newaliases.postfix for postfix, while mailq.sendmail and newaliases.sendmail for sendmail. Decide which MTA you want to use (check by sudo 'service sendmail status' and 'service postfix status'; only one should be running) and symlink either of the 2 pairs of mailq and newaliases to /etc/alternatives/mta-mailq and /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases e.g. as root ~# ln -s /usr/bin/mailq.postfix /etc/alternatives/mta-mailq ~# ln -s /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases > (For me, "stable" means more than simply, it doesn't crash.
