Hi, This isn't powerpc specific but I perhaps someone knows where I might be able to look to fix a property of (probably) telnetd:
It closes my connections after a long period of inactivity. I have another box running Debian-i386 and I can leave telnet running it all day - not touching a key - and the telnet connection stays up. But when I telnet into my ppc box and do not use the connection for a few hours the connection is automatically closed. Is it possible another deamon is sweeping the system or something looking for idle connections (this is a via an ethernet connection/local LAN/not ppp)? I looked at /etc/inetd.conf at the telnetd line but it's normal (no flags with telnetd). Any ideas? One more thing, I'm using dselect now on the PPC machine and it just tried to install gom-ct; this always throws my machine into a stall. I got out of it by killing the process and hitting ctrl-c at the menu. This is really a report. Thank you, Elizabeth
