To me you're using technology to solve a user problem.  The
technological approach should be the last thing you have to do.  First
should be a little user education:

- Staying signed on  and/or leaving their terminal/PC unattended is
likely a security policy violation.  It would certainly generate a
concern in a SOX or HIPAA audit.  Around here, certain violations can be
cause for dismissal.
- Users own the data; not IT.  IT is merely the custodian.  It is the
user's responsibility to ensure the data integrity for everything except
system-related issues.  A failure to sign off which leads to data
integrity issues or a failure to recover is not a systems issue.

Of course, the above may not sway the users.  When I'm telling someone
to, for instance, not share their password ( *SLAP* ), I also mention
that they are responsible for everything that occurs under their ID.  So
if data is altered and the joblog/jounral points to them, it's their
butt on the line.

In short: PICNIC.  Problem In Chair; Not In Computer.

But while we're talking technology, what is the QINACTITV system value
set to?  Sounds like you're still using twinax.
