Yes and no. session.gc_maxlifetime is the right setting, and this means the
session will last *at least* this long. The setting in
session.gc_probability also has an effect. This gives the percentage of page
hits on which gc is launched. For example, if session.gc_probability = 1,
then on one out of every 100 page requests the gc routine gets launched. So,
on a really slow day where the server isn't getting many requests (or late
at night?), then the session can actually last much longer, since the gc
routine isn't getting launched.
