Hi Everyone,

I've just installed Debain Woody; base-install an a dell inspiron 8100. The install went fine but I have one question. When I step away from the machine to take a break, I return to find that I've been logged-out automatically. I'm running KDE as my Window Manager, using the Gnome display manager (gdm)

I ran the utility 'gdmconfig' but didn't see an option for disabling this feature, I also
digged around the /etc/X11 directory. Next, I checked the conf file "/etc/gdm/gdm.conf" and I don't see an option for auto Logoff; however there is a AutoLogin feature that is disabled.

Thanks in advance for the help
Jason

If your shell is bash, this may apply:

File: bashref.info, Node: Bash Variables, Prev: Bourne Shell Variables, Up: S
...
`TMOUT'
If set to a value greater than zero, the value is interpreted as the number of seconds to wait for input after issuing the primary prompt when the shell is interactive. Bash terminates after that number of seconds if input does not arrive.
