Can you show us the output of this?
Code:
echo $TMOUT

If it's 0, then problem is somewhere else. If it's non-zero, you put an entry at the end of /etc/profile or your user accounts /home/username/.profile
Code:
export TMOUT=0

You might be connecting to the VPS through PuTTY or other SSH clients. If the shell times out, the window will close and you won't get a chance to see the message it printed. All you see in /var/log/secure (auth.log for Ubuntu) is similar to what you posted.

So check this environment variable and let me know.

Ok the variable is 0.
Where can I find the reason for the problem?
Some tips?
