My question was:

I am curious to find out what everyone is using to log off user's when they
have been idle for a certain amount of time. I tried something called
Idled and wasn't real happy with it. I would love to have something like
Hitman (which is for VMS), but haven't found anything that will work like
this. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated!!




I didn't get too many responses on this - one person uses idled, another
does this:

We set the TMOUT variable in the /etc/profile to however many seconds we
want. This will logout a user after they have been idle for xxxx seconds.

TMOUT=7200 ##(2 hours)
export TMOUT

 and the last response I got was for this:

if you get everyone to use tcsh as their shell, you can set the
auto-logout variable globally for all users. This logs people out after
the specified time of inactivity
