Operating Systems Solaris Setting Screen Lock Timeout Post 56220 by rambo15 on Wednesday 29th of September 2004 09:07:41 AM

Setting Screen Lock Timeout
Hello;
I have Solaris 2.6 installed on many Sun AXI Ultra Sparc IIi systems. I want to set the Lock Screen global timeout for all users to 15 minutes. I read the Solaris CDE guide which instructed me to create a /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources file and changed the timout to 15 minutes in it. I did this and it has no effect. It still defaults to whatever is set when you bring up the sceen style manager, which in our case is 30 minutes. How do I change this setting so screen style managers for all users default the Lock Screen timeout to 15 minutes instead of 30?

Regards - Mark
