The default SessionTimeout is a very big number that apparantly equals the number of seconds in a three day timespan.
However - closing my browser deletes my session instantaneously.
This is both on my dev. system (Win2K/Apache) and my deployment server(FreeBSD/Apache). Also it happens in Mozilla Firebird, Mozilla, Opera 7 and IE 5.5
This means that my users have to login EACH time they visit the site (unless they've had an instance of their browser running all the time).
I am using the latest 3.1 release

I've filed a bug on this - including a description of a hack that will fix the worst effects of this
