Support session locking with tmux
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The tmux
terminal multiplexer is used to implement
automatic session locking. It should be started from
/etc/bashrc
or drop-in files within /etc/profile.d/
.
Rationale
Unlike bash
itself, the tmux
terminal multiplexer
provides a mechanism to lock sessions after period of inactivity.
A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the
immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to
log out because of the temporary nature of the absence.
