.TH UNTAMO 8L PUCC
.SH NAME
untamo \- Idle terminal and multiple login monitor daemon.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /usr/new/etc/untamo
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Untamo wakes up at regular intervals and scans /etc/utmp for information
about who is currently logged in, how long they have been idle, etc. and
logs people out who are idle or multiply logged in.  
Untamo is usually started from /etc/rc.local.
.PP
Untamo uses a configuration file, untamo.cf, to find out how long a 
terminal must be unused to be "idle" and which
users, groups, terminals, or clusters of terminals are exempt from
being logged out.
.PP
Untamo gets its name from the Finnish god of sleep and dreams.
.SH FILES
.TP
.B /usr/local/lib/untamo.cf
Configuration file which specifies how often untamo is to wake up, and
exemptions to rules, etc.
.TP
.B /usr/adm/untamo.log
Log of when untamo is started, killed, who it logs off and why, and any
errors it encounters.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Various "couldn't open ..." error messages.  Since untamo dissacociates
itself from the invoking terminal, most of the errors get put in the
log file.
.SH SEE ALSO
untamo.config(5L), utmp(5), termfile(5L)
.SH BUGS
If a user logs off and then on again fast enough and manages to get a
different tty, he may be warned about a multiple login.
.LP
Creative users can defeat the idle timeout and keep terminals "locked"
indefinitely.
