On our VAX/Ultrix systems everybody seems to have a line setenv LINK_TIMEOUT 3 in their .login files, however nobody seems to know what it does. A "grep LINK_TIMEOUT *" in the manuals did't help either. Does anybody know what this environment variable is good for?

I called DEC tech support about this many months ago. They said LINK_TIMEOUT is no longer used for anything (but didn't explain why it's still in the skeleton .login shipped with Ultrix) Mike Khaw
