[gentoo-dev] All the builtin timeouts

[gentoo-dev] All the builtin timeouts

[Christopher Dudley]

Hey, got a silly question for ya.

Where on earth are all the zero-activity timeouts defined? If you don't 
touch the console for around 10 minutes the screen blanks, if you don't 
do anything in so long you are auto-logged out. Where is this stuff 
defined? How do you change it?

Thanks in advance,
   -Chris

I know one can change the terminal blanking timeout with setterm(1).

setterm -blank 0 disables the terminal blanking. The autologout I don't 
know off the top of my head. I suggest googling for it.

Cheers,

Put a line set /usr/bin/setterm -blank in /etc/conf.d/local.start

Don't know about this, there is no auto-log out on my system.
