Allow me to echo the general "wtf?!" sentiment. You do realize that the
following "hack" works even for ksh, right?
$ export TMOUT=10
$ readonly TMOUT
$ exec env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH="$PATH" ... /bin/ksh
I suspect that a less-than-unbreakable solution might be enough for PCI
compliance; in that case, look at sysutils/idled or pester the devio.us
guys for their logout daemon.
