 I got it working by adding "logouttime=3D3" to miniserv.conf.  A gotcha
with this is that if you have any CGI scripts that reload themselves
periodically with JavaScript then you can find that you never hit the
timeout because the JavaScriipt reload (quite understandably) is
activity.  Not that I'd expect webmin to deal with that - I'm just
mentioning it.  I'll most probably have to patch webmin to have a list
of URLs that will not count as a request for the purposes of
calculating the timeout.

Thanks again.
