Hi All,

Have few queries regarding the user account management in Solaris 10.

1. How to unlock a user account automaticaly after 30 minutes of its
locking.

2. How to define a session timeout for a terminal session.

Best Regards,
Bruce

There doesn't seem to be any sort of automated way to reset locked 
accounts.  If you think about it, it totally defeats the purpose of 
enabling this DOS attack waiting to happen.  Typically in a secure 
environment, a user fails to login 3 times and their account is 
disabled.  They have to go to the security officer, fill out paperwork 
or other such crap to get it reset.  From the documentation, the 
Identity Manager tool is what you use.

There used to be an open source idle process killer called idled that 
you could compile and setup to do this sort of thing.  I don't know if 
it still works with Solaris 10.  But this sort of program is mostly used 
on systems which don't have a GUI console.  How do you tell the 
difference between a terminal session and a login window on a 
workstation?
