The 60-second timeout in Unix login is not long enough.

When accessing Unix via various networks or combinations
of networks, particularly when either the remote machine
or the local machine is heavily loaded, the 60-second
timeout will consistently prevent login.

Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any others
out there who would vote to increase the timeout from 60
seconds to 180 seconds?
