    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.

    Hey list,

        I'm curious to know if there is a way to have SSH kill idle sessions
        after a set time in Fedora 2 and 3. I've been looking around and
        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).
