Check your msec security level by 'cat /etc/sysconfig/msec'
Note SECURE_LEVEL and TMOUT variables' values. If SECURE_LEVEL
is 4, TMOUT will be 3600(seconds) by msec's default. If SECURE_LEVEL
is 5, TMOUT will be 900. SECURE_LEVELs 0,1,2 & 3 do not set TMOUT
shell variable so you won't be automatically logged out. An easy
solution for you would be to lower your security level by running
'msec 3' or 'msec 2' as root. Just running it once, and the system
will remain as level 3/2 even if you reboot. I think level 3 would be
secure enough for you.
If you don't think so, and want to stick to level 4 or 5(paranoid
level), edit /etc/security/msec/level.local, which does not exist by
default, to create a customized setting for TMOUT:
from mseclib import *
set_shell_timeout(0)
But setting no shell timeout simply defeats the intended
security which level 4 or 5 is designed to achieve.
HTH.
