It doesn't look like the linux version of Login handles this. However,
tcsh supports an autologout feature. You set the shell variable
`autologout' to the number of minutes of inactivity you want a user to
be booted. There is one drawback to this, a user can simply reset the
variable and the inactivity limit goes away.
