Auto logoff feature enabled? (Debian Woody)

Auto logoff feature enabled? (Debian Woody)

[[ Jason J ]]

Hi Everyone, 

I've just installed Debain Woody; base-install  
an a dell inspiron 8100. The install went fine but I have 
one question. When I step away from the machine 
to take a break, I return to find that I've been 
logged-out automatically. I'm running KDE as my Window 
Manager, using the Gnome display manager (gdm) 

I ran the utility 'gdmconfig' but didn't see an
option for disabling this feature, I also
digged around the /etc/X11 directory. Next, I checked the
conf file "/etc/gdm/gdm.conf" and I don't see an option for 
auto Logoff; however there is a AutoLogin feature that is 
disabled. 

Thanks in advance for the help 
Jason

If your shell is bash, this may apply:

File: bashref.info,  Node: Bash Variables,  Prev: Bourne Shell Variables,  Up: S
...
`TMOUT'
     If set to a value greater than zero, the value is interpreted as
     the number of seconds to wait for input after issuing the primary
     prompt when the shell is interactive.  Bash terminates after that
     number of seconds if input does not arrive.
