Hey guys,

I use my DSL line to avoid my Manhattan office by using remote X sessions on 
my home linux box to access linux machines in my office.  I was telnetting 
directly into the linux boxes, but ran into trouble with the telnet sessions 
timing out .  I got around this my logging into the Cube firewall, then 
telnetting to the various linux machines hiding behind the Cube.  Generally 
this works great. But, and you knew there would be a but...

1. my X sessions (established after logging into X server, after logging into 
the firewall) continue to have a time-out issue.  My telnet sessions do not 
(remain open for days/weeks).  The X time-out is is annoying, but not 
annoying enough to lure me onto a Manhattan bound train.  I woud like to 
de-time-out my X sessions if possible. Any experience out there with this?

2.  After a few weeks of withering X sessions, one of my workhorse linux x 
servers shows 182 users which is comprised of approx. 181 dead X sessions 
from the previous weeks.  Is this causing a resource drain on the machine and 
how can I get rid of these short of a shutdown?

Any hints, links, or resources would be appreciated.

Michaell Taylor
