Is anyone aware of a facility which will log a user off of the Display Manager
after a specified period of inactivity ?   We have found that there are users 
that occasionally walk away from their nodes without logging off properly.  
It would be convenient if the system could detect an extended absence of the 
user (eg. through keyboard inactivity), provide a warning, wait for a response,
and failing that, logout the user.

We are running Domain OS 10.2 on DN3xxx's and DN4xxx's.

Thank-you, in advance.
