Hi,
I've installed redhat 7.1 few weeks back on a PC running
Pentium 200 MHz, 128 MB. The network is configured with
DHCP server on a secure intra-network within the company
as a development box.
I am having telnet session timing out problem when I telnet
into the box as root. After about 10 minutes, the telnet
session hangs or not responds any more. If I go to the
console window, and execute a ping command, then the telnet
session resumes. I think I don't have this problem when I
telneting out from the box to remote hosts.
I tried make /etc/pam.d/other file to be generic as possible
but the problem (could be called a feature with the PAM default
configuration) persists.
Does anyone run into this problem in redhat 7.1 ? Anyone
knows how I can disable (or work-around) the 10-min timeout
on telnet session ? It is not clear to me whether this
problem is with PAM or XINETD.
Thanks,
Moo

# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
