When I telnet from another machine into my RedHat 5.0
box, the sessions get terminated after several hours
of inactivity with the following message:

Read error from network: Connection reset by peer

I tried the following:
  - I do not have autologout set in my shell.
  - A telnet to another machine from my RedHat box
    works fine.
  - A telnet from my RedHat box to itself also
    works fine.

Has anyone ever seen this happen?
