Is there a way (mod?) that auto log-offs a user after a certain amount of time of inactivity? I am running my WWF for a fairly tight security ring and if a user logs in from an anonymous computer and leaves it on auto-log-in then anyone going to that computer can get in...any suggestions?

Cheers.

If they have auto-login turned off and they close their browser, that would log them off.

You could force them to login every time by modifying the login form so that the auto-login field is a hidden field always set to no.

That won't help you for people who don't log off and leave the browser window open, but that might at least reduce the number of occurances. Anyone who closes their browser would have to relogin.
