Good question... I've always had the issue of trying to keep my 
ssh/telnet sessions open.  I found the following two projects:
	http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyttymon/
	http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/timeoutd

I don't know why there doesn't seem to be any timeoutd for RPM based 
systems?
