Hi to all!
Is there anyone that would know how to increase the value of idle time session timeout ? every time I use telnet or ssh to log into my machine, after like 5 or 10 mins of idle time I get connection time out. And I wonder if I could change that setting ?

Thanks
-Eddie
 
Check the current value with echo $TMOUT then alter it with:

export TMOUT=<No of seconds>

A value of zero indicates an unlimited time. HTH.
