Abstract:  USERMN - An Idle Terminal Monitor for RSX-11M/M+



               On most development systems, a reasonably secure  system  is
          desired.    RSX-11  is  a  fine  tool  for  developing  code  for
          industrial applications, but its  security  regarding  unattended
          terminals is not satisfactory.  It is not desirable for anyone to
          be able to walk up to a terminal  and  possibly  steal  sensitive
          information  or worse, if the terminal is privileged (as most are
          on development systems) delete any and all files he wishes.

               This monitor addresses this  problem.   It  examines  system
          terminal  driver data structures looking for logged-in terminals,
          and scans the active task list looking for the "owning  terminal"
          for  all active tasks.  It gives idle terminals first, second and
          final warnings,  and  logs  all  forced  logouts  on  the  system
          console.   The monitor serves all TT:  devices on the system, and
          can be built to support DECnet HT:  devices.  VT100  support  can
          be  included.  All time parameters are user-selectable, including
          an optional "hibernation" period.
