Re: Killing idle SSH sessions?

John,

Could you go into a bit more detail about this? I'm talking about any 
kind of remote login via SSH, be it from a Windows or Linux system. I'd 
just like to find a way for SSH to kill the session after 15 minutes of 
inactivity to make sure someone doesn't leave an open session up on 
their screen logged into a critical system.

   haven't really found any way of doing this. The closest settings
   I've found are these: 


I think bash provides that capability (but it applies whether you 
connect via ssh or login at tty1).
