Indirectly related to the bash question, my network overlords have implemented this directive:
https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/red_hat_enterprise_linux_7/2018-11-28/finding/V-72223 Short version: export TMOUT=600 in /etc/profile, and set it read only. My question: is this a real security issue? How can the bad guy "take control" of a console session, without sitting down at my computer? Wouldn't a screen locker serve just as well? Or is this only about network connections? And what's a "management session"? Grateful for any enlightenment. thanks!
