Hi,
I am trying to configure ssh idle timeout. I know that I could do it with 'set autologout' in rc files. But our users are configured with different shells and the the default shell sh doesn't like 'set autologout'. According to the manual page of login.conf, this can be achieved by setting idletimeout in /etc/login.conf. But it didn't work for me.
I also tried setting 'UseLogin yes' in sshd_config and it didn't work either.
Also I found that if I add something to 'setenv' in /etc/login.conf, it did successfully set the environment variable, which means ssh is actually using /etc/login.conf. But why the 'idletime' parameter doesn't work?
