Hi Gurus,

i am a newbie to AIX

i use X-start / Xceed to connect but after so much idle time has
elapsed, my connection is gone and the window is black. is this an AIX
default?
is there a way to change it?

also, are kernel parameters non-configurable by manual means?

Thanks,
Tom

check if the TMOUT parameter is set to something other than 0 in your
environment.
