Session Timeout values on HPUX 10.20/11.11 systems?

[Angie_1]

Is it possible to set a timeout value for those that telnet into an HPUX box from Exceed or from their PC?

What about logins that are at a command line too that are on the console?

What configuration file stores this information?

Understand that if you run any process at all on that box, that the timeout values won't apply.

only TMOUT=#of seconds

which only works when they are idle for that period of time at a shell prompt.

live free or die

Angie,

You can use TMOUT in /etc/profile.

eg
TMOUT=300 #This means session will timeout in 5 minutes.

Where is the TMOUT variable at? Would like it set globally.

Thanks - Angie

You need to set TMOUT variable to the preferred time (in seconds) in your /etc/profile. Sample entry would look like this:

TMOUT=900;export TMOUT

hi,

use TMOUT parameter in /etc/profile (for all users) or /~username/.profile (individual user).

For example,

TMOUT=1800
readonly TMOUT

this will terminate the idle session after 1800 seconds.

regards.
