Automatic logout

Hello,
I have this issue on a new server I just built. It is a RHEL 6.7 build. I use VNC to connect to the server from my windows machine. When I login to the Server in morning using VNC I get this error: "Automatic logout, this session is configured to log out after a period of inactivity. I then have to kill and restart the VNC secession to use VNC. It seems that the server has a setting that is logging me out. How to disable this auto logout behavior.

Thanks

Exit or logout

When I want to close my session I can use exit or logout, and a lot of manuals use both of them indistinctly. So, Is there any difference between exit or logout?? Or are both of them exactly the same command?? I forgot to mention that I am using a RedHat Unix. Thanks for your help. Kinai. (1 Reply)

NAME
vncpasswd - change the VNC password SYNOPSIS
vncpasswd [passwd-file] vncpasswd -f DESCRIPTION
vncpasswd allows you to set the password used to access VNC desktops. Its default behavior is to prompt for a VNC password and then store an obfuscated version of this password to passwd-file (or to $HOME/.vnc/passwd if no password file is specified.) The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and it invokes Xvnc with the appropriate -rfbauth option. vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option. The password must be at least six characters long (unless the -f command-line option is used-- see below), and only the first eight charac- ters are significant. Note that the stored password is not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plain-text password, so vncpasswd always sets appropriate permissions (read and write only by the owner.) However, when accessing a VNC desktop, a challenge-response mechanism is used over the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network. OPTIONS
-f Filter mode. Read a plain-text password from stdin and write an encrypted version to stdout. Note that in filter mode, short or even empty passwords will be silently accepted. FILES
$HOME/.vnc/passwd Default location of the VNC password file. SEE ALSO
