[comp.sys.hp] rlogind server doesn't die when client goes away

jim@tiamat.fsc.com (Jim O'Connor) (08/18/90)

Were's the situation:  We have an HP 9000/835 running HP-UX 7.0, an Annex II
terminal server, and a few 386PC's running SCO Xenix with TCP/IP from SCO.
If we do rlogins such as:

Client		Server
--------	------------
Annex II	HP 835
Xenix		Xenix
Xenix		HP 835

and the client end of the connection crashes (only one of the 386's is on a
UPS, and none of the Annex terminal servers are), the server end of the
connection NEVER goes away, unless the processes are killed by hand or the
server machine is rebooted.

Is this the "normal" behavior, or am I missing something completely obvious?

Thanks for any help.
