            Bug ID: 205691
           Summary: After a period of inactivity at the boot loader prompt
                    for a GELI passphrase, the computer should shut down
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org

Recent discussion in IRC suggests that there's no timeout. 

If the computer is unattended when the prompt appears, or if the user is
interrupted before completing entry of the passphrase/password, then the prompt
may be endless: 

* with a risk of 'burn' to some types of display. 

I suggest a timeout of five minutes, after which the computer should
automatically shut down. 

(The period that applies with FileVault 2 on OS X is probably five minutes.)
