This is very bad for timeout daemons because they assume that the access time of the tty changes if you are not idle. So, you get logged out by the daemon. I suspect it's because rlogin uses raw mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Does Masscomp know about this? Anyway, if anyone knows of a fix for this I'd appreciate them telling me. pk
