RHEL 9 must prevent users from disabling session control mechanisms.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. Rather than be forced to wait for a period of time to expire before the user session can be locked, RHEL 9 must provide users with the ability to manually invoke a session lock so users can secure their session if it is necessary to temporarily vacate the immediate physical vicinity.
