Run "top" when you're not doing anything. See if anything changes.
On the remote machine so there is always something happening?
The usual situation is that I am running trn on the remote machine,
reading net.news. Then I switch to a different desktop locally to do
something else, such as a Google search stimulated by the news
reading. If I wait too long, when I switch back to the first desktop
I am logged out.
For what it's worth, a small experiment just now shows the value of
the timeout to be 10 minutes. Caused by having to go help fixing
dinner just after I logged in. "last" shows that I remained logged in
for (00:10) hours:minutes.
