Two (or three) thoughts: 1) It depends on how they are connecting. If you are talking about local sessions, that is far different than say, remote X connections, or even remote connections over VNC, or X tunneled through SSH. 2) It will probably be service-based timeouts, for example SSH has keepalive=YES and probably a timeout option as well (man ssh) 3) I envision setting xlock (or any Screensaver) on a 3-day timeout, then killing the parents of any xlock process via a clever script in the crontab. my 2c ,(only worth 1.5 with the top-posting Exchange rate.

But if you log on from the same network, it lets you be stay on until you log yourself out. I would like to change the settings to whenever there is KDE/Gnome session has been idle for 3 days, it will automatically disconnect without warning. Any help will be much appreciated. --Using RHEL 3 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
