Hi, OK I am having an unexpected behaviour linked to IP filter.
I am using a Windows PC, with X-win-32 as X Window server I am uing a Solaris machine as the window manager (fvwm), from the window manager I rsh (actually xrsh) to various Unix servers to open an xterm. This has been working fine for many years, on many flavors of Unix. This has been working fine when I used ipfw as a firewall. Now that I use ip filter, I am encoutering some random disconnections of the xterm client. I would open an xterm that way and it will stay up and iddled during all the weekend. But at other times it get disconnected after 5minutes. Problem is that when I get disconnected, the state that was open for Xwindow stays in the table until it times out (5 days). It could be happening when I am sending a great amount of text to the xterm, or when the firewall is heavily loaded, but that's only presomptions. Any idea would help. Bests, olivier
