Um.. only if you're not using it, of course. Try 36000 - 10 hours - instead, or whatever you like. I honestly had this same problem when I upgraded from c 2.6.12 to 2.6.19. It was extremely annoying and the symptoms EXACTLY met the descriptions: "I'll logon and then immediatly be presented with a timeout / please logon screen" and "it gets into a loop and asks for the passwd everytime I try to get another screen. logging into BOTH the meny frame and the main frame seems to satisfy it." My timeout was also set to a "silly" number - as many 99999999999999s as I could fit in the box, I think. Setting the timeout to a more reasonable number resolved the issue for me. If this is a problem for you, start by setting the timeout to an hour and then work upwards. Even having to log in every hour cannot be worse than logging in and then getting the "session timeout, please log in" message on the very next page. I know how annoying this message is - I too have experienced it on a minutely basis. > I wish Dieter would have a magic value that would disable the > thing.

Documenting the problem and saying "the timeout setting works perfectly when it is set below 2^16 seconds [1], but when it is set above this figure then the user experiences inappropriate session timeout messages & logon demands" allows people to actually diagnose the issue & maybe resolve it for you. Stroller. [1] or 65,536 seconds, 2^32 seconds, 3 hours, 4,294,967,296 seconds or whatever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
