        balna001@lezqdndbv273:balna001> cat /etc/profile.d/tmout.sh

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      Linux lezqdndbv273.staples.com 4.18.0-425.10.1.el8_7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 14 16:00:01 EST 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

      How reproducible:
      Always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Run scap security scan using ssg-rhel8-xccdf.xml
      2. TMOUT is defined either in one place or two, doesnt seem to matter with ksh. KCS mentions BASH.

      Actual results:

      it's giving the message "/etc/profile[68]: .: line 273: declare: not found" even though TMOUT value defined in one place or two places.

      KSH shell is not liking "Declare" option and OpenScape CIS level Benchmark is insisting that tmout value.

      Expected results:
      No error
