Hi all,

(5.3.4.1 server on AIX 5.3.0.0, 5.4.0.0 Mac client)

I noticed something funny yesterday.
The IdleTimeOut on one of our servers was set at 75 minutes.
At 14:06 session 179021 started:

03/08/2007 14:06:12      ANR0406I Session 179021 started for node XXX (Mac)
                          (Tcp/Ip xxx.xxx.xxx(xxx)). (SESSION: 179021)


At 14:22 I increased the IdleTimeOut to 120 minutes:

03/08/2007 14:22:49      ANR2017I Administrator XXX issued command: SETOPT
                          IdleTimeOut 120  (SESSION: 178563)

The new IdleTimeOut had it's effect on session 179021 since it waited
120 minutes before it terminated as this 'query session' output shows:

179,021     Tcp/Ip     IdleW      2.0 H          343         328     Node
Mac          XXX


So far so good.

But this is the accompanying activity log entry:

Date/Time                Message
--------------------     
----------------------------------------------------------
03/08/2007 16:16:15      ANR0482W Session 179021 for node XXX (Mac)
terminated -
                          idle for more than 75 minutes. (SESSION: 179021)


It still reports the old value, 75 minutes, despite the fact it waited for 120
minutes before it terminated the session.

Sessions that were terminated later that evening report the new value:

03/08/2007 21:07:15      ANR0482W Session 179504 for node XXX (Mac)
terminated -
                          idle for more than 120 minutes. (SESSION: 179504)

Am I missing something here?

Regards,

Alexander
