Hey I just added three of your articles to fsdaily.com which is a site like digg but for news and article about free software.

Can you please add an “FSD it” link to your list of service links? It’ll make it easier for me (or anyone else) to do it with future articles you write.

The link for this article would be:

Thanks.

Another way: for bash and Korn-shell, setting
TMOUT=7200
in /etc/profile will logout users after 2 hours of inactivity.

you can do this in sshd_config file:

Set idle session timeout to 15 min:
ClientAliveInterval 300
ClientAliveCountMax 3
