[imp] Session Expiered

[Henry Blackman]

I think this is an underlying problem in PHP sessions; problem being that
admin's aren't specifying the session timeouts etc correctly (please check
/usr/local/lib/php.ini) and what could be a huge problem if the
time/date/timezone isn't correct on the client computer.

At our institution we run a large document management system that users must
sign into, it uses PHP sessions to control this sign in, but some of them
get signed out too soon, or whatever; we found that more times out of ten,
the time, date, or timezone was not set on the computer.  Our Novell network
is now correctly timesynced to an atomic clock using NTP and therefore as
they login to their computer the client is too, which is resulting in no
more issues like this.
