Shell Time-out


Hopefully, this'll be quick and painless. I recall in a previous build I've done of Redhat 7.1, I set a timeout for users. I THINK it was a bash time-out, but I can't recall.

In my opinion, this is a decent security policy. I'll just can't find where I'd set that before to do it again now that I've build a new machine.

Anyone know where that is?

I think it's a package called idled (idle daemon).
