I don't know how it could be configurable. The controller has no idea that your user sessions is ended. You see a logo or LOGGED OFF and know that your session is ended. A terminal controller has no idea since there is no provision for a signal from the host (except DISABLE). LOGOFF/DISC HOLD work for logical terminals since CP destroys the logical terminal at LOGOFF (without the HOLD). Telnet only knows that the session is ended if the ldev goes away.
