I recently upgraded my work i386 to 1.4F (July 12 kernel sources and
the July 5 ELF snapshot), and now rlogin's to the machine timeout after
short time (a couple of hours).  As a experiment, I tried "date;rlogin
machine;date" from both an Ultrix box and a NetBSD/i386 1.3.3 box a
couple of times, and it regularly drops the connection after 2 hours 11
minutes.  Here's what I see:

I also have a number of xterms running on the same box, and these don't
have any problems.

Any suggestions?

Simon.
