Did a search in www.openssh.org and found out what you have just emailed. Since in our unix environment, ksh and bash are the standard shells, TMOUT is the way to go. The problem is that savvy users can overwrite the global value in /etc/profile with a local value in $HOME/.profile. I was hoping that openssh would provide a more robust solution.
Anyway, thanks for the info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments or statements made in this transmission reflect the views of the sender and are not necessarily the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. sunlist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/21/2005 11:25 AM Please respond to Solaris-Users mailing list <[email protected]> To Solaris-Users mailing list <[email protected]> cc Subject Re: [Solaris-Users] timing out ssh session I'm always surprised when I see this question each time. SSH, although encrypted, can be thought of as a transport mechanism to remotely access your system, such as telnet or rlogin. You need to set the timeout in your shell. For tcsh, you need to set the autologout variable. For Ksh and Bash, the variable is TMOUT. Read the man page for the shell that you are using. Not all shells support an idle timeout.
