If logged in to bash, TMOUT is the (seconds) setting to terminate the
shell if no activity, but it is not fool-proof. For example, an open vi
session will prevent the logout.
Appreciate the variable of TMOUT, but I'm not looking to terminate, but
rather lock the session.
Additionally, I should be able to override the session with the sudo or
root password.
Other leads welcome.
