You are aware that you cannot change the hard timeout setting without also modifying the cleancache.pl script? >From INSTALL: WARNING: The hard timeout interval is used to calculate the maintenance of the login cache (if that option is selected). This factor is used in the cleancache.pl cleanup script, and changes to this value must be coordinated appropriately. It is not possible to use different hard timeout values with the same login cache (in different virtual domains, as described in the next session). Leisurely tinkering with this environment variable is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED, it's very easy to screw up the whole system. You've been warned. If you adjust the hard timeout, you must simultaneously delete your current login cache directory, and adjust $timeouthard in the installed cleancache.pl script.
