No problem, I wasn't very clear. I have a timeout handler that runs every minute. It checks the session updated timestamp against the current time. If the difference is more than the allowed idle session time (system configuration variable) then I take an action. In this case I force them to enter their password again. > _______________________________________________ > pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au > http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk > Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/ -- Steve McClure Racemi email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 75 5th St NE voice: 404-892-5850 Suite 333 fax: 404-892-7215 Atlanta, GA 30308 http://www.racemi.com _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
