Re: [expert] Root login timeout

2002-10-25 Thread Gary Hodder
Hi Dianne, logging out happens for root and other users. Leaving it at a login prompt and not logging in, it recycles the login prompt with another. So if you login and do nothing it logs out after a 15 minutes. This behavior did not happen in 8.2, its only in 9. Gary. On Sat, 2002-10-26 at 00:0
