Hi. I've been having this weird problem over the last couple months where I
will be logged onto a workstation and, out of nowhere, it will log me out. It
does log me out "correctly" (i.e., destroys my tickets), just as if I had
typed "logout" at the shell prompt.
This doesn't seem to happen any particular time (i.e., I may have only been
logged in for 15 minutes, I may have been logged in for an hour, etc.).
This has only happened on Sparc 4's, although mostly the only machines I use
are Sparc 4's so this may not mean anything.
It doesn't seem to be related to what I am doing at the time (e.g., it doesn't
happen whenever I bring up Netscape, or when I'm running lots of processes,
and sometimes it happens when I'm not even typing (looking at my notes,
whatever)).
I asked OLC about this, and they suggested sending you a report.
Thanks.
