The skeleton .login (/usr/skel/.login) on our system (running Ultrix 1.2)
has a line in it that says:
setenv LINK_TIMEOUT 3
What does this refer to? The number of symbolic links the system will
attempt to cross before getting a "Too many levels of symbolic links"
error?

LINK_TIMEOUT is for a program I wrote which I don't think is shipped
in the product any more.

But Armando, the question was (is) what is LINK_TIMEOUT? Not who wrote it. {:-) The unix hackers of the world are awaiting the answer to this weighty question.
