What Does This Mean?

[Coleman, Kelley (HAC)]

I had been doing some work recently with trying to set up a time-limit
for ssh connections. I wanted sessions to automatically disconnect if
there was no activity for 20 minutes. I can't even begin to think what
would stay connected for 40 hours. I look at the logwatch reports every
day and haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe this was a
person connecting. But then, I'm probably overlooking something.  I'll
keep researching.

Thanks, Tom, for the response.

Maybe has to do with SELINUX and password age requirements?

Thanks,
