I decided to try the idled package which disconnects users after being idle for a specified period of time. When I first discovered that it does not recognize someone in X as using the machine I tried to uninstall it using dselect. After rebooting I was still being kicked or the system after 60 minutes. I went back to dselect and purged the application. rebooted. No change. Next I decide to reinstall, but to modify the config file. I tried to change the default idle time before log out to 300 minutes from 60. I also added my user name to the exempt list. Rebooted. This all had no effect. My current idea is to remark out the line which loads this thing at boot up. I am not sure how to do that, or even which file I need to edit. Any help is appreiciated. Thanks
By the way, is it really necessary to reboot to turn of a daemon? Thanks
