Yes, I have done something si,milar to this in thepast but I was hoping that there might be away to accomplish the administraor override from the unit console of the system in question. I infer then that there is no such capability built into gnome, correct?

It appears then that we will have to disable the screensvar terminal lock function since too many people in our organization have the habit of just leaving that desk with their sessions left on. Is there an auto logout capability in CentOS-4 that I can enable instead, so that after say 10 minutes of inactivity the user session is terminated?
