[ale] AutoLog problem

  Dunning debian woody.  I installed autolog and set a test up for a 10
minute timeout, cron to run every 5 mins.  After my session is idle for
10 minutes I get a warning that I'm going to be disconnected in 30
seconds on my console.  A bit later I get an email that I've been
disconnected for being idle.  Nothing changes on my actual console.  If
I do a "w" it shows me as disconnected but a "who" shows me still there.
If I hit enter on the idle console I get a prompt back, I wasn't
actually disconnected.

Debian Woody
Using SSH and Pam to connect
Kernel 2.4.X (varries from 15-20)

rharris: You've been idle for 11 min.
You'll be logged off in 30 sec unless you hit a key

<5 mins later I hit enter>
