Display Locking
Is there a way to lock the users telnet session if there has been no keyboard input for a certain amount of time ?
When the user tries to enter something it asks for his/her unix password in
order to continue working

Re: Display Locking
There is an alternative though. It is possible to log the user off after a predefined period of inactivity. All shells I know off support this feature (sh-posix, sh, ksh, bash).
When the environment variable TMOUT is set and has a value greater than 0, the shell terminates after waiting the number of seconds for user input.
If your users are using CDE, it is possible to lock the screen after a predefined period of inactivity, after which a password is required.
Hope this helps,
Rik

Re: Display Locking
Where did you get that information? I looked in the manpages on 10.20 and 11.00 but did not find anything.
I also tried it out, but the connection stays open, even after the time expired.
Thanks,
Rik

Re: Display Locking
You can add following lines in /etc/profile
TMOUT=600
readonly TMOUT
This way the TMOUT parameter is made readonly and user can not change it at command prompt.
