Check the TMOUT variable. Maybe someone set your shell sessions to time out on purpose.

I did and found no problem:

Quote:
$ echo $TMOUT
$
I also copied root's .bash_profile and .bash_logout to the user's home.

What make it different between root and regular users on session termination? I really don't understand.

Thank you!

Nothing, really.

Perhaps there is a cron job or something killing rogue non-root ssh sessions?
