3. HTML timeout

When Linuxconf receive an HTTP request, it will start process the request and will stay running for some time. After some inactivity time, Linuxconf will exit. While this have little impact on its functionality because the HTTP protocol is logically stateless (each transaction is conceptually complete), there exist some complex HTML dialog which require Linuxconf to remember some information about pages it has generated. If you are too slow to fill a screen and accept it, Linuxconf may very well quit in the mean time. This has two drawbacks:

Anyway, you can raise the timeout so Linuxconf will wait longer before exiting. The timeout is expressed in minutes.
