      From: nospam.g00r00@f215.n129.z1.fidonet.org               EW> I've toggled the "No Timeout" setting for my account (Mystic v1.12 A45        EW> 2020/08/26 (Linux/32)); but after sometime, the BBS would just boot me        EW> back out (if I was telnet'd) or back to the bash prompt (if I just use        EW> 'mystic -l'). I don't see any errors in the node?.log.              The No timeout flag disables the inactivity timeout (not time per day) but       there are some many possiblities as to why you might be getting disconnected,       anything from a bug to running out of time, to your ISP/router killing open       sockets because you're idle and it thinks they're stale (ie you would need a       telnet client if connected via telnet that sends NOOP to stay connected)...              If you are connected via ./mystic -l and it happens, that seems to point to       something else not client/router related. If you ran out of time (ie minutes       per day) or were removed from inactivity, then it should have printed a message       or logged you out as you noted.              I don't really have a good explaination for you at the moment to be honest.              ... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
