yeah, i know about idled.  i even package a similar daemon for debian
(timeoutd).

i don't have idled or timeoutd or anything similar installed on the machine
in question.  that was the first thing i thought of.

this idle timeout only seems to occur for logins on a serial line (both
terminal and ppp logins), never on console or a pty.

thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't help.  this problem seems
specific to slink...perhaps a new login binary does it.
