Thanks for your response. By "remote user", I basically mean anyone who
has a shell open that it not using the physical keyboard/mouse/serial
connected to the machine (i.e. someone who has sshed in, but not
someone's cron job).
I don't think the bash TMOUT variable would work because the user could
just unset this variable to circumvent being logged out.
