Well, call me stupid, but I have a timestamp_timeout=300 (5 hours) set for user 'roam' :) But well, since I don't reboot all that often (except in cases like right now, when messing with the kernel ;), I guess there's not all that much sense in "saving" a couple of keystrokes every couple of days :) Guess I needed to think it through when I asked the original question.. G'luck, Peter -- No language can express every thought unambiguously, least of all this one.
