probably it has been set to readonly in /some/script/executed/earlier
by the way the user can bypass this by executing
/bin/ksh

Subject: TMOUT variable problem
I have the TMOUT variable set on my 5.1 systems, and
for some reason it doesn't seem to be working on one
of them. What the user sees when he/she logs in is:
.profile[44]: TMOUT: This variable is read only
The variable does not seem to take affect as the
session does not time out after the specified time.
Here is what the setting of the env var looks like:
TMOUT=10800 # 10800 seconds = 3 hours
export TMOUT
readonly TMOUT # make the variable unmodifiable
Does anyone know what the problem here is?
Thanks!
