[Labs-l] [Tools] New bastion at tools-login.wmflabs.org

[tom29739]

This is a bad idea because I use tmux to manage my shell. If there is an
autokiller, then I'll have to reopen and get my panes how I like them
again. I may not be working in a pane or I may be running something like
tail to read log files, or something else, so an inactivity killer would
kill all of that.
