Your culprit is most likely the > Firewall-1 machine. Well, it would be nice to blame FW-1 on this, but I can't. I can open 2 windows from my Sun thru the firewall to the FreeBSD machine. With the first one, I do my normal things, working on the machine, with the second I telnet out. The first one never dies. I can have one window open all week long. The second one dies after an hour of idle time. The same thing will happen if I telnet (TeraTerm) from my Win2000 machine to the FreeBSD machine, that are on the same network. The same thing will happen if I telnet to the Win2000 machine. The only constant in all my synario's is the telnet client program on FreeBSD. -- This looks like a job for legal tender! - The Tick To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
