it doesn't seem a good investment of time to add the complexity to
figure out of its a timeout due to misconfiguration vs. another problem.
and, that configuration knob is right at the top of cloginrc(5) and its
mentioned in the sample cloginrc.

has anyone tried/tested the patch for clogin that i posted to eliminate
autoenable?
