I am using tcsh, and I put "unset autologout" in to /etc/csh.login. However, my session got killed again just a while ago. Is what I did for the autologout variable correct? One thing I noticed is that autologout will log the session out in almost exactly the number of minutes set by autologout, and displayed the message "auto-logout". But my system logged me out without the message (it did send a mail from root to me with subject "excess idle time"), and it only happened at **:*0 (12:10, 18:50, etc.).
Thanks.
