no auto-logout in freshly installed s9y

Hi. I have a freshly installed s9y for testing purposes and noticed that my admin-user is never logged out automatically. Which comes quite handy as long as I am testing but should not be like that in my opinion. I have compared the test-install with my long working s9y blog and found no "switch" for turning auto-logout on or off. Am I just blind or is the out-logout triggered by a plugin (which one?) or a server-setting that I cannot influence?

Hi ju
As far as I am aware, there is no such function. On Login you may choose to "remember me" so you won't get logged out after this session. Probably that was activated?

I never chose "remember me". But I will try again with a different browser.
After which time should I normally be logged out? (I only know that it is sometimes too short to finish an article ... but that's not very exact.)

That should not happen.
The only timeout I found that s9y sets is in serendipity_setCookie and set to a month. It is possible that the PHP on this server is configured to close the session after some time, like via
ini.session.cookie-lifetime.
It is of course possible I oversaw something else, but my guess would be to check and set that option (or let your hoster check that).
