Sooooo, I'd like to set a $TMOUT for all of our bash sessions. I see a
lot of shells just needlessly open. This is going to piss people off
though, I haven't even done it yet and its pissing me off

Are there any very vocal oppositions to this? Any alternatives? I'd like
to at a minimum install it on fedorapeople.

I object your honour!

a) It's a PITA, login, get distracted for an hour or two and find out
that your session died....
b) I think this is the problem I have with proxy4 (now proxy1) where it
cuts me off after an hour... hmmm

c) Fedora People is a different story, yes please do, 3 hours maybe...

I was thinking 8 hours.. and the problems you're seeing with proxy4 is
something else.

Hi there,

If people start using screen they just have to reconnect, et voila,
continue to work.

At least for me, screen was the solution.

just my 2 cents.

Even in screen's case it'd kill the session during the timeout, unless
someone unset $TMOUT

Perhaps thats what we'll do, and if people have a problem with it, they
can set their own $TMOUT value in their .bashrc file.

Can we have tcsh?

A downside with that solution is that if I detach a screen session
and end my SSH session, the next time I reattach, I lose my SSH agent,
and that means having to type SSH passwords repeatedly until I
completely destroy and reconstruct the screen session.

Hey, if it's not particularly frowned upon to override that value (with
the knowledge that you have to be extremely careful in locking your
laptop/desktop), then I'm all for it :-)

Thanks,

yeah, so far nothing's really "happened" because of bad voodoo. I'm not
quite convinced a firm policy will help anything but at a minimum I think
$TMOUT will help clean up old sessions.
