That gets it for the folks with ksh as their default shell - but
everyone doesn't use that as their default shell!
Thanks.

maybe you could try tinkering with /etc/profile.. In AIX and Linux,
i just add the lines:
TMOUT=600
export TMOUT
and idle users for 600 seconds get logged out automatically (assuming they're
just in a shell (not a DBMS apps or such)...
good luck! ;)
