Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: timeoutd
The timeout daemon seems to kill itself after partially-succesful
session timeout action...
- firstly, it does not display x-window popups (any!) - messages are
echoed under console screen (virtual terminal next to that used/reserved
by gdm);
- after all (after the 'last' beep, when timeout limit is reached) it
crashes user's session - does not logging out but just restarts (?) gdm
- command 'last -10' says that user is still logged;
- timeoutd still tries to logout user XYZ (10 or more times with beep;
from '/var/log/syslogd'):
(...) timeoutd[12168]: User XYZ exceeded maximum daily limit (on for 486
minutes, max=180).
(...) timeoutd[12168]: chk_ssh(): PID 11929 does not exist. Something went
wrong. Ignoring.
After that it finishes his work ('ps -A|grep timeoutd' says nothing).
Now, the user XYZ is able to log in without any time restrictions...
Timeoutd process can be 'saved': another user should log in before last
beep occurs.
