solaris 9 session timeouts
Hi,
O/S = Solaris 9
I have a newbie question about controlling user session timeouts after a period of inactivity. My current configuration appears to have been created with a session timeout of 5mins.
Could someone tell me were session timeouts are controlled from. There is is nothing in my .profile and I have tried setting the TMOUT environment variable to a different value in my profile.
Is there a file or environment variable that controls the session timeout value for users system wide. (something under /etc?)
How do I change the default session timeout for my system or on a user by user basis?
Thanks

I doubt there's anything else on the system. Are you sure the timeouts are from the Solaris box and not from some device on the network?
When the timeout occurs, do you get a nice message on the screen, or does it just exit when you press a key? The first points to a shell timeout. The second points to a network teardown.
