This is due to the TMOUT variable which is most likely set in /etc/profile.

Thank you, however, when I check /etc/profile, and .profile for user, there are not TMOUT or TIMEOUT setup.

Who knows there is other place to setup?

Such a function could also be implemented by a firewall.

It could very well be a firewall setting. However give this a try to at least eliminate the possibilty of the TMOUT variable. Login as the user and run "echo $TMOUT" and see if it returns anything.

As a quick solution, do
$ TMOUT=

After you log in

Or add this into your .profile
