@Riley: Nope! Not a bug, the time is actually in seconds! See
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6701

@Anthony : Koha 3.4 is an unsupported version. The manual for the
latest stable release is at
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/administration.html

In the latest manual, the timeout syspref is under 1.2.3.4 and NOT
under 1.2.3.5 as with 3.4 manual.

The relevant code segments are in C4::Auth are in _timeout_syspref()
and checkauth()

sub _timeout_syspref {
    my $timeout = C4::Context->preference('timeout') || 600;
    # value in days, convert in seconds
    if ($timeout =~ /(\d+)[dD]/) {
        $timeout = $1 * 86400;
    };
    return $timeout;
}

AND

if ( $lasttime < time() - $timeout ) {

time() is the perl function to return epoch time in seconds. Thus we
are handling seconds and NOT miliseconds.

hope this clarifies the issue.
