Hi, 
   Does anyone know how to restrict the trial time of login to about
four times.  After four times of trial for login and the password is
incorrect, the system will disconnect the connection.   Is there
anyway to do it?  And I just wonder if I can also set the idle time
for  a telnet user?  For example, can I set the length of the idle
time before the system kick out a user for not active in the system?
Thanks for reply.

rgd,
Derek
