Well, the session ids don't expire after a certain period of inactivity. They expire after a certain period after they're created. The default is to expire 6 hours after the login is created, no matter if you're still working on the database after 5 hours and 59 minutes.
To change the length of time before a session id is deleted, look in the .cfg file for
$auth_time = 21600;
If you want the session ids to expire a half hour after they're created, set this to
1800
(30 minutes x 60 seconds per minute).
All this assumes you are not using the SQL version of DBMan. I don't know how the SQL version works regarding this.
