Trying to use a portmaster as a reverse console server. If I do date ; telnet portmaster ; date and connect to a port, the connection stays up for 2 hours and 10 minutes, then gets Connection closed by foreign host. Given this, I suspected the portmaster. But other people do not see the problem. Today, I tried a telnet from a Windows box and it stayed up for over 4 hours (at which point I killed it). So, this suggests that FreeBSD 4.x is doing something. A quick browse through the source code for telnet does not suggest anything. Any ideas? There is no NAT involved. /\/\ \/\/
