openSUSE 11.1 How can I force Log Off for inactive user session?


This is for a single system with very limited resources to allow very inexperienced users to surf the web.

If a user walks away and doesn't log off, the only way for another to log on is by switching users.

I would rather force a log off for any user not active for fifteen minutes.

Thanks

Which desktop manager is running on this system? For example in KDE 3.5 you can set up an autologout feature in the screen saver configuration (kdesktoprc)
Code:
[ScreenSaver]
    AutoLogout=true
    AutoLogoutTimeout=900
