[c-nsp] Xwindow session timeout through Pix Firewall

[Alex Foster]

Hi Lukasz,

Should have included a bit more info. with regards to the type of
xwindow session.  This is a passive exceed connection used in
conjunction with Java Web Start that connects to a HP-OV platform.  So
this isn't an xstart session with SSH.  I found some info regarding a
'session timeout' parameter you can add to some of the exceed profiles -
but this doesn't work - or maybe Ive just configured it incorrectly - I
wasn't too sure what profile the passive connection used.

Regards

Alex

If You can't increase idle timeouts, use keepalives for this specific
application.

I'm sure You've already seen that?
