It would seem to me that your best bet would be to consider making a custom version of 'getty' with libvgl, since getty is going to determine how idle time between logins should be handled. That's pretty well out of syscons's jurisdiction. Actually, making just such a thing just got put on my TODO list. -- Joel Ray Holveck - joelh@gnu.org - http://www.wp.com/piquan Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped
