We would like to setup an action where once a user loses connectivity to our server (telnet) that within minutes, their session is ended. We worked with IBM support to no avail by setting the below parameters:

ibm06:/home/root (1005)#cat /etc/tun*/nex*
# IBM_PROLOG_BEGIN_TAG
# This is an automatically generated prolog.
#
# bos530 src/bos/usr/sbin/perf/tune/nextboot 1.1

# Licensed Materials - Property of IBM

# (C) COPYRIGHT International Business Machines Corp. 2002
# All Rights Reserved
#
# US Government Users Restricted Rights - Use, duplication or
# disclosure restricted by GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp.
#
# IBM_PROLOG_END_TAG

no:
tcp_keepidle = "120"
tcp_keepintvl = "30"
tcp_keepcnt = "2"

We are currently running AIX 5300-08-03-0831

Please let me know if there is a parameter I’m missing, thanks!

Hi

Using telnet should not been an option in a secure enviroment. I think you better use SSH.

I don't understand your question. Your telnet session is actually going to end when connectivity fails. Do you mean the TCP state of DISCONNECT once connectivity fails ??

We modified three "no" parameters whereby when a user loses connectivity to the server, their telnet session is killed after 90 seconds.

ibm05:/home/root (1000)#cat /etc/tun*/nex*
# IBM_PROLOG_BEGIN_TAG

no:
tcp_keepcnt = "2"
tcp_keepintvl = "30"
tcp_keepidle = "180"
