Auto-logoff facility in Unix

No, asking for password again rather than logging out is not suitable
for our environment (OS ports are a scarce commodity and we have to
free up an idle line so the queued-up users can get through the port
contention switch).  I also don't think the shell has any business
asking for your password.
