No, I'm talking about the time the login program will wait for a login.

If you just run login and wait, it takes 300 seconds for it to give up.

I want it to give up in 60 seconds or less.

I'm not talking about how many attempts: there is a setting for that.

Interesting.

What I'd really like is information on low power settings.

I can't tell from inside Solaris if the CPU is slowing down to save  
power or not.

That would be nice as my server load is bursty.
