.TITLE #######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.
