TOSS 5 must automatically exit interactive command shell user sessions after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Terminating an idle interactive command shell user session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of it when left unattended in a virtual terminal or physical console.

Verify TOSS 5 is configured to exit interactive command shell user sessions after 15 minutes of inactivity or less using the following command:

$ sudo grep -i tmout /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/*.sh

/etc/profile.d/tmout.sh:declare -xr TMOUT=900

If "TMOUT" is not set to "900" or less in a script located in the "/etc/'profile.d/" directory, is missing or is commented out, this is a finding.

Configure TOSS 5 to exit interactive command shell user sessions after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Add or edit the following line in "/etc/profile.d/tmout.sh":

#!/bin/bash

declare -xr TMOUT=900
