Is there such a thing as a LAT keepalive timer for DU as there is in the
VAX/VMS world?
Our users are hogging LAT ports by simply typing...
LOCAL> CONNECT
Login: (and they sit there indefinitely, or until they
wish to login again)
The login prompt never times-out. This is a problem because our users first
connect to a PBX and the PBX finds an available server port to make the
connection.
I couldn't find any programable timers to control this through LAT.
I tried adding "-t 20" for the LAT gettys in initab and did the "init q"
to have initab re-read and no luck. The "-t 20" *should* tell getty to
die after 20 seconds.
lat620:34:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty -t 20 /dev/lat/620 console vt100
Any ideas? Patches? etc..
Thanks.

Greg Schlabs from DEC Support came up with the answer. Remove the space before
the "20" (Doool!)
/usr/sbin/getty -t20
Well, in my defense, the getty manpage has a space between the t and the value.
