Telnet disconnects

Hi, I am running Unix server side and netterm client side. While I am in netterm working my sessions just disconnect randomly. Does any one know a fix?

Most likely you have a security feature enabled in Netterm that you don't want/need, in this case, session timeout.

Yes.

You can use a different terminal program and a different protocol to login remotely.

First of all, telnet is not secure; so you should ssh in for a fully encrypted secure communications channel.

Second, there are myriad client side and command line ssh apps for unix systems.

You might try, from your command line.

ssh

Also, normally with sshd the timeout is set on the server side via keepalives. For a Linux example, see:

Or you can google this for your specific unix server.

Another idea: is TMOUT set? (In (t)csh: autologout)

echo $TMOUT
