Dimas,
An automatic logoutafter
a certain amount of idle time is one method. Most chat servers
automatically logout and disconnect idle connections, so emulating this may not
be a bad idea. There may be a way to detect that a user left the page, but
if there is, I don't know about it.
I would _hope_ that your web server would NOT be able to read your
/etc/shadow file. /etc/shadow should only be readable by root, and your web
server should not be running as root. You've probably got a permissions
issue.
My suggestion would be to not use /etc/shadow to authenticate against.
Apache::TimeOut sounds vague to me. It doesn't give me a clue as to what it
does. Maybe something along the lines of Apache::AuthExpire would be more
descriptive ?
