Anyone knows where I can increase the idle-time-allowed-value ? LOL... just keep using telnet and sooner or later, someone will hack you and then you'll have a really big time out...

Anyone else out there who knows how to solve my problem? I could of course install ssh, but I'm not so familiar with compiling in linux, is there a ssh.pkg ? eivind Softerweb 02-21-2002, 01:01 PM Hi Eivind, Here is a link to several Raq 4 packages: http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/packages/raq/4/ Direct download link for OpenSSH 3.0.2p1-1: http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-1.pkg ljprevo 02-21-2002, 01:02 PM SSH package can be found here: Raq 3: http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/packages/raq/3/#openssh Raq 4: http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/packages/raq/4/#openssh ljprevo 02-21-2002, 01:14 PM Sorry Softerweb, looks like we replied at the same time. Back to the original question: Hi, I and tired of getting kicked out of telnet sessions all the time. Anyone knows where I can increase the idle-time-allowed-value ? eivind You may want to read this at the Cobalt Users group. http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-August/049649.html I don't know what your situation is, but I never timeout with SSH (shell), I do with FTP, and if you want to increase the timeout of FTP you can do this: In /etc/proftpd.conf Change the lines: #Edited Timeout for longer ftp sessions TimeoutNoTransfer 1200 TimeoutIdle 1200 Mine is set to timeout after 20 mins. 60 secs X 20 mins = 1200 You can set yours to however long you want. Pingu 02-21-2002, 01:32 PM I believe my raq3 had time-out's turned off by default. I turned them on a while ago, but I can't remember which file I edited :D Which reminds me, root NEVER times out...

It's in /etc/profile Change: TMOUT=seconds shortfork 02-22-2002, 06:27 AM Originally posted by eivind shortfork: heard about firewalls?Yea, frankly been buried in them lately, sort of a "firewallssh evangelist" actually... http://www.forum.rackshack.net/ do searches or actually there are some pretty active current threads on the issue from some of the members. Our goal is to get everyone in the network solid and protected so other boxes within our net don't get comprimised... and have an easier path to our boxes.. or, in truth, I'd love to see everyone learn about security methods. You may eventually still get hacked, there's some out there that are better than good and far better than most security experts.. at least you'll know you gave them a challenge. Shortz |
