There were several suggestions for a possible source of the problem:
- It could be an idle timeout set on the remote computer
- Try setting
TRAPALRM() { print "Someone sent me an alarm signal"; }
- try tracing the zsh process from another telnet session
Nothing helped until a friend suggested it would be the firewall
that I'm using that causes the problem. Indeed it did :-) The
firewall (I use IPCHAINS) closses connections when they're not
used for a while; a TCP connection will be closed after 15
minutes... To increase the timeout time call IPCHAINS with the
-S option. A piece of my rc.firewall :
# The default masquerading timeout is 15 minutes. This can be used
# to set it to higher values.
$IPCHAINS -M -S 7200 10 900
This sets the timeout to 2 hours; long enough to go to the toilet,
do the dishes, have a chat with the neighbour and returning to your
computer without having to login again... ;-)
Thanx for all the suggestions!
Mark.
