HP-UX users get logged off while idle.
Im "supporting" at least 2500 HP-UX workstations with CAD-related software with the B.11.11 build. I cant say anymore than that because of my companys sligtly paranoid security policy .
The last few days a new problem has arised from nowhere.
The problem is that users gets logged off when the screenlock should have kicked in (after 10 minutes of idletime). It doesnt happen to all the users and we have the same image installed on all Workstations. No discs are full. And the problem seems to be local since users have the same problem if the try the same computer. If they lend a collegues computer, the problem is gone. I dont think its a RAM issue because there are machines with 2 gig RAM wich runs well while machines with 4 gig RAM can start behaving like this.
The users store and fetch all ther modelfiles from a network of servers. The is no function which unmounts idle networkmounts so that is not the issue either. We are using NIS and Selang for useraccessrights and pushing out UNIX-ids to the local machines.
I havent found any kind of errors in the logs that wasnt there before. Anyone who has experrienced this problem before? Anyone got a clue? Im puzzled...
Im open to any suggestion even the spacy ones. Hey, even stupid suggestions are welcomed!
This is bigger issue than one can think because it takes 15-20 minutes for our users to get all the aplications and networkfunctions up to be able to work on the 3D-models.

rwho
rwho(1) General Commands Manual rwho(1) NAME
rwho - Shows which users are logged into hosts on the local network. SYNOPSIS
rwho [-a] rwho [-a] [users] OPTIONS
Includes all users. Without this option, users whose sessions are idle an hour or more are not included in the report. DESCRIPTION
The rwho command displays the username, hostname, and start date and time of each session for everyone on the local network who is cur- rently logged in to a host running the rwhod daemon. If one or more user names are specified, only the status of those users whose names are listed appears on the screen. If a user has not typed anything for at least 3 minutes, rwho reports the idle time as a number of minutes in the last column. After an hour of inactivity, a user is not included unless the -a option is specified. Because this command displays a lot of output, use this command with caution if the local network has a large number of users. Status information is broadcast once every 3 minutes by each network host running the rwhod daemon. Any activity (such as a user logging on or off) that takes place between broadcasts is not reflected until the next broadcast. EXAMPLES
To get a report of all users currently logged into hosts on the local network, enter: $ rwho bob host2:pts5 Nov 17 06:30 :20 bob host7:console Nov 17 06:25 :25 franz host1:pts0 Nov 17 11:20 :51 franz host1:pts8 Nov 16 15:33 :42 franz host4:console Nov 17 16:32 pietro host1:console Nov 17 13:14 :31 pietro host1:pts7 Nov 17 13:15 :47 server host2:console Nov 17 06:58 :20 luis host2:pts6 Nov 17 09:22 FILES
Indicates data files received from remote rwhod daemons. SEE ALSO
