Bug Description

Binary package hint: timeoutd

Timeoutd does not work correctly when using LTSP (Edubuntu).

I want to make unused Thin-Clients log out after 60 minutes, when nobody is working there.

Problem:
They are logged out, when there's still somebody working.

To reproduce, install edubuntu server or LTSP-Server, log in with a thin-client.
Use in /etc/timeouts e.g.
Al:*:testing:*:5:*:*:2
Where testing is the username you log in with.
