I have a problem with a remote site doing an rlogin, then having a problem with their machine, and the rlogin process stays up. I need to have them drop off after, say, 10 minutes of disconnection (not just inactivity - if they are still there, just not typing, I want the link to stay up). I know about setting net.net.tcp.keepidle and maxidle, I just don't know how to start the rlogin so it uses them. Also, if I change the default values, will I screw up something else?
