So far the concensus has been that there does not exist a TMOUT equivilant
for bourne shell.
Suggestions so far have been:
1) use a different shell
This is doable but the problem is that users will still have the ability
to shift to other shells. So it doesn't cure the problem
2) use sudo
We do this as well, but there are still admins that must have root.
3) fire people that leave the logins
This sounds great but I don't believe it's feasible.
4) write a script to clean up these logins.
While this sounds nice it's not realistic either. The script, having an
independent structure, would have no idea of what sessions were actively
being used or not....
-- Somewhere in this vast land of administrators there must be someone that
has experienced an issue like this. Is there a system wide configurable
variable? I looked in /etc/default/login but I could not find anything that
was applicable.
Any more suggestions that were not included here?
