  • Disconnected users cannot reconnect occasionally.

    My user said, and I quote:

    ```
    One problem I've been having is that when I go to certain screens, the BBS
    seem to lock up. After a minute or so, I'll give up and disconnect. The problm then is, when I go to reconnect, it won't let me log in for hours because it believes I'm already logged in.
    ```

    It wouldn't be so bad if it was 10 minute, 30 minutes or whatever, but I don't even see Linux having a socket timeout of hours. It's like it's not detecting he logged out at all. Maybe he only got back in because I did a recompile and shutdown and restarted.

    I've asked him to notify me if it happens then I can check the state of the socket. When I have charged my laptop I can give it a try and see if I can replicate the issue by dropping wifi.

    Set SCFG->Servers->Terminal Server->Max User Inactivity to some value?

    I have the same problem and end up giving regular users the G exemption so that they can login to multiple nodes at the same time.

    I'm going to try that on mine.

    Would 10 mins be a suitable value? Why is it 1 hour for new users?

    Thanks DM.

    I set mine to 10 minutes. There's really no reason for a user to idle that long anyway.

    Nelgin: what have you changed to 10 mins? The max user inactivity or max new user inactivity?

    I have max login inactivity and max user inactivity set to 10 minutes and new user inactivity is 30. I'll probably change that to 10 also.
