I'd like to have an idle timeout on my virtual consoles - does something like that already exist, e.g. as an option somewhere that just needs a '#' removed?
I have that feature working on my old 7.3 SuSE system, but I think it is controlled by the BIOS. The display doesn't simply go black, it actually goes to sleep, using DPMS, I assume.
That works fine, but I want the user actually logged off after a timeout.
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. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
