I use rlogin into our BSDI-1.1 box from my xterm.  Unlike all our
other machines, the BSDI box has an idle logout implemented, so my
window keeps going away.  This is bloody annoying.

I have looked far and wide to find the culprit, but the idle logout is
not mentioned in any of the manuals I can grep.  Any clues who is
responsible and how I can disable it?

Greg.
