I am possably over looking something then, as i belive the only way to do
what John wants is to recompile the login program with a longer default
timeout, its 60 seconds default.

If you belive that /etc/login.defs can be told to use a longer timeout,
please let us know how you do it, as 'man login.defs' has no mention of any
timeout feature.
