I discovered this morning that I had 2 open telnet connections from my box to another local machine. (I was called out last night and forgot to close them before I left). Today I've been searching several resources for a way to enable some type of timeout mechanism so the connection is disconnected by the host after a period of idleness (I'm thinking 60 minutes at the moment). There seems nothing appropriate in the handbook, and the closest thing I've found is in "man telnetd" under the -n option to disable tcp keep-alives. But my reading of this is its not what I want and I can't see how to set the time period. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?
