Ah! I didn't understand your question correctly, then. But I have the faint idea you can do that via "pam".
Me, I'd prefer the terminal to be locked and require a password to re-enter, not be logged-off, as the user might have something running there. Same as in X.
Yes, that would work too, but my main concern is servers in racks in a datacenter, and someone (incl. myself) just forgetting to log off after having quickly checked something or other.
Right; but locking a terminal is safe, is it not?
Yep.
The thing is, a bash setting should only work when you are at the prompt, not when using some (other) program.
I would expect it to work all the time, but the bash TMOUT doesn't seem to do the trick. I ran top, and that disabled the time-out.
It is something I also want to know, I simply doubt a bash setting is the perfect method.
And you're right - it's not good enough. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
