I just installed 3.21 from git and cannot log in. I get 3 seconds, assuming that's the time needed to draw the ANSI welcome, and then "You've been inactive too long."

In the Terminal Server settings, I have:
- Max Login Inactivity: 10 minutes
- Max New User Inactivity: 1 hour
- Max User Inactivity: 9999 seconds (also tried <disabled>)

What am I missing? Thanks!

I *was* unable to log in or create an account as I was being immediately disconnected...

However, I found the problem! And probably a bug...

System->Advanced->Maximum User Inactivity. I set it to 0 which scfg said was "Unlimited". Apparently scfg and the BBS don't agree. :-)

well the first place i would start looking is the security level, but i think you're right. my duration is set at 5mins

maybe you did find a bug and there's a conflict with the 0 disabling because at that point you are not logged in as a user.
