1 Hi All,
2
3 I've exported TMOUT=1200 to make sure an absent minded colleague does not
4 leave his console logged in as root and walk away.
5
6 This has the desired effect - except that when I am su'd in via SSH it also
7 kicks in and logs me out midstream whatever I have been doing at the time.
8 Is there something to take account of user activity before allowing TMOUT to
9 kick in?
