Operating Systems HP-UX Users getting kicked out of sessions Post 302756615 by slkdnichols on Wednesday 16th of January 2013 07:29:29 AM

Users getting kicked out of sessions

We have an old (11.11) HP-UX system. A couple of months ago, our customers started having problems with their logins.

After sitting idle for roughly an hour, their screens would lock up and they would be kicked out of the system. This happens if they are in the application or on the command line. I have verified that this is happening by leaving a putty session (at the command line) open.

I have checked for any kind of "timeout" on the system and cannot find anything.

We use SSH (telnet is disabled). I have looked thru the syslogs and the customers' profiles. Please let me know if there is any where else I should be looking.

SYSTEMD-LOGIND.SERVICE(8)				      systemd-logind.service					 SYSTEMD-LOGIND.SERVICE(8)

NAME
systemd-logind.service, systemd-logind - Login manager SYNOPSIS
systemd-logind.service /lib/systemd/systemd-logind DESCRIPTION
systemd-logind is a system service that manages user logins. It is responsible for: o Keeping track of users and sessions, their processes and their idle state. This is implemented by allocating a systemd slice unit for each user below user.slice, and a scope unit below it for each concurrent session of a user. Also, a per-user service manager is started as system service instance of user@.service for each logged in user. o Generating and managing session IDs. If auditing is available and an audit session ID is already set for a session, then this ID is reused as the session ID. Otherwise, an independent session counter is used. o Providing PolicyKit-based access for users for operations such as system shutdown or sleep o Implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition logic for applications o Handling of power/sleep hardware keys o Multi-seat management o Session switch management o Device access management for users o Automatic spawning of text logins (gettys) on virtual console activation and user runtime directory management User sessions are registered with logind via the pam_systemd(8) PAM module. See logind.conf(5) for information about the configuration of this service. See sd-login(3) for information about the basic concepts of logind such as users, sessions and seats. See the logind D-Bus API Documentation[1] for information about the APIs systemd-logind provides. For more information on the inhibition logic see the Inhibitor Lock Developer Documentation[2].
