Raptor indicates that they have > not encountered this time-out problem before. <snip> We had the same problem - Raptor firewall was set up & then sessions were getting timed-out after short periods of inactivity (15 or 20 mins I think, but I can't remember exactly). I was certain that it was the firewall that was timing-out the sessions, but the Raptor people in Australia said there was no time-out function. I was not satisfied with this & told them that there was! They checked with the head-office people (in the States?) and were told that there was no time-out! Eventually, someone spoke to the right person and bingo! - yes there is an UNDOCUMENTED "feature" of a time-out on inactive sessions. To change the time-out period (you can't turn it off), you have to edit the config file (config.cf), find the line for the time-out & change it (we use 10 hours - I think the value is the no. of seconds). Email me directly if you need more details. _\\///_ (' o-o ') _________________________ooOo_( )_oOoo____________________________________ Greg Chaplin (Any opinions in here are mine) UniSuper (nobody else would want them) Level 28, 367 Collins St, Email: [log in to unmask] Melbourne VIC 3000, Phone: +61 3 9648 4145 Australia.
