If you are using kshell or bourne shell
you can use your TMOUT variable to set it.

TMOUT=60
export TMOUT

If you are using c shell
use
set autologout=60

TMOUT=
readonly TMOUT
export TMOUT


you can also make the variable readonly so that users cannot change it.
Also note that the value in minutes.
Once I had this variable to 600 and thought that in seconds and was waiting for Timeout after 10 minutes.
Also note that you can make the entry for ksh or sh in your /etc/profile file and for csh in /etc/csh.login for all the users.
