HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |

The Question is: ucx problem I am getting auto logout'd after 10 minutes idle. I recently got a vaxstation 2000 with vms 4.6, 6Mb ram and 150Mb hard disk. No tape drive. The local vms guru helped me upgrading it to 6.0 and add ucx for tcp/ip. My telnet and relogin sessions are automatically closed after 10 minutes. That is the case both at work and at home where the vax is now. In all cases I login from a linux pc with linux-2.0.34, at work there is a cisco pix firewall in between. At home the linux and the vms box are directly on the same ip network. I wonder if it is a settable timeout. I have tried to change mc sysgen, TTY_TIME and ucx UXC$KEEP_ALIVE. No help. The printer port which I use for a serial console does not have the problem. Note: linux does some random tcp sequence numbering. I think the cisco pix does too. I don't know if that matters. VMS is new, and I like to play with it. The Answer is : TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX) does not typically drop sessions automatically, idle or otherwise. The Wizard would check to see if there is a setting on the firewall system or an associated router that is configured to drop an idle connection, or if there is a site-configured idle process monitor running on the system. If this is a hobbyist system, see if DECUS offers a hobbyist OpenVMS license in your area. (The site http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/ has more information on the DECUS OpenVMS VAX V6.1 hobbyist license.)
