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.
