Busybox Gurus,

I have a situation that I think should be fairly common. I use getty
to launch login, and then login launches an ash shell.

For security reasons, I need the shell to timeout if there is no
keyboard activity. Something like a telnet or ssh connection timeout.

I notice that getty has a timeout - does this take care of inactivity
in the shell?

I noticed that login has a default timeout that times out after some
time (60 seconds?)
<code>
# login
localhost login:
Login timed out after 60 seconds
<code>

And I also noticed that ash has no timeouts in the source at all.

I can code an idle timeout into ash, but I wanted to check to see how
others are handling this OR if I am missing something obvious. Any
comments on this are appreciated.

tia,
rouble
