Why there's no LogOut from WHM

[pats]

I like to click on that KickOut button before closing any program, but WHM don't have any.

Can anyone create nice LogOut buttons and passit to Nick so that he can put it on top somewhere

on side note: i think LogOut should be there for flushing the sessions etc. for a little more secured approach.

It won't work because its HTTP Auth.
username and password will be stored until you close your browser and re open it.

Yep, the "logout" link in cpanel doesn't truly log you out. It just tricks your browser into thinking that the realm has changed, so it'll prompt you for a username and password if you try to access it again. It doesn't work on some browsers/os configurations. Just close your browser window, that way you are really logged out. There's nothing to worry about once that window is closed. Once you try accessing it again, your browser won't know your username or password. Unless you have your browser set to remember passwords... but that's your own choice.

Any other ideas how to do this logout thingy in WHM? other than Logout -> window.close

I remember other Panel have session timeout also after some time of inactivity, which is also good idea. (though again is not HTTP Auth, like WHM)

So shouldn't WHM's authentication menthod should change? so that it can take care of this small security things?

No other solution currently.

Changing WHM/Cpanel + Webmail (all cpanel ports) authentication .. hmm .. I think that's hard and will require a lot of modification. May be Cpanel 10

This will also change the Auto Create scripts, it will change everything dealing with Authentication.

I do not see that it is a security problem.

You should be the only person using your OS username since you login until you log out.
