Maybe this needs wider discussion? We have many machines here that are
idle a lot, but need to be accessible for remote login (students
logging in from home or somewhere else on campus). So, I like to be
able to put thse machines on standby after a while, such that display
goes off and maybe they run a bit slower and such, but networking
remains up (at least by default). What do other's think? I think if
you want networking down to for suspend you could do that from
/etc/apm/ scripts instead. It's of course fine if suspend/sleep mode
switches netorking off, just not for standby.
Feico.
