MS2LINUX - Authentication basics

When I was at Speedfam they used Novell Bordermanager for the web proxy.
Until I setup my own proxy at home so I could surf un-supervised I remember
having to re-authenticate about every 5 minutes or so. That was a pain in the
***. If this is what he means, yes it is true.
Bordermanager had a time out set, so I eventually complained and they changed
the timeout period to 10 minutes, then it wasn't so bad.
