Edit the /etc/security/.profile file to include an automatic logoff value for all users, as in the following example:
TMOUT=600 ; TIMEOUT=600 ; export readonly TMOUT TIMEOUT
The number 600, in this example, is in seconds, which is equal to 10 minutes. However, this method only works from the shell.
