As I known,I havn't create any shell script or setup any "middle boxes" to
do this,and I have several solaris 9 OS within same subnet,but no such issue.

Some shells, for example tcsh, have autologout options and set this by default for some remote connections at least. Very annoying! And/or a local site admin may have configured this. Personally, I have the following in .tcshrc:

      if ( $?autologout ) unset autologout

Presumably if you're using a different shell there may be something similar, depending on the shell.

The other option is to run "snoop" on the box to see if there's any network traffic when the connection goes away. For example, on a Netgear router I have that disconnects connections after 30 minutes (because they apparently don't believe in the normal TCP keepalive interval) shows about 5 outbound packets with no reply due to the dropped connection. In which case this would point to a network or remote issue.

Guru,

My solaris 10 telnet session will be disconnected automatically after
idle for a few minutes(I don't the actual seconds),can anyone show me
how to disable the telnet timeout feature ?
There is no timeout feature in Solaris for telnet connections.

Either your shell is doing this or this is at the network layer and you
have some networking blibs.
"Middle boxes" most likely.  (Such as NATing gateways and others)
