| Ok, it might be your shell. Bash, for example, has a variable called

|
| echo $TMOUT

For tcsh shell the autologout variable controls the same thing.
And from the tcsh man page:
autologout (+)
The first word is the number of minutes of inac
tivity before automatic logout. The optional sec
ond word is the number of minutes of inactivity
before automatic locking. When the shell automat
ically logs out, it prints `auto-logout', sets the
variable logout to `automatic' and exits. When
the shell automatically locks, the user is
required to enter his password to continue work
ing. Five incorrect attempts result in automatic
logout. Set to `60' (automatic logout after 60
minutes, and no locking) by default in login and
superuser shells, but not if the shell thinks it
is running under a window system (i.e. the DISPLAY
environment variable is set), the tty is a pseudo-
tty (pty) or the shell was not so compiled (see
the version shell variable). See also the afsuser
and logout shell variables.
