Rainer, i restate: it is true also the converse. I can put a rather
short ''default'' timeout and use a 'timeout=' option in recipes to
specific commands.

Rainer, sorry but... WPKG users are not properly ''users'', but
sysadmin.


And i'm not speaking about changing the default timeout value, but
simply make it configurable, with a default value of '3600'.


I'm really asking a so extravagant thing? I'm asking also to other list
users...
