+Summary:	A simple set of scripts for setting shell timeout automatically
+%description
+These scripts automatically set shell timeout values based on user ID (UID)
+or group ID (GID) membership in POSIX shells (bash/zsh) and C shells (csh/tcsh).
+
+When a matching user logs in, their shell will automatically terminate
+after a configured period of inactivity.
