Defaulting to a finite timeout seems the most reasonable thing to do, as it encourages users to specify how long the terminal will remain locked. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21806 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
