The <forms> element in <authentication> section has a timeout attribute -
this is actually the timeout for the authentication ticket, and it sounds
like this is the one you've got set.

The session has a separate timeout specified in the <sessionState> element
in <system.web>.

This thing had me stumped for a long time.

Daniel
