Admin Timeout set to 0

Hi -
New admin here - I took this over from a previous employee and I am still learning. Before he left, the old admin set the core config admin account timeout to "0". Now, I can login to the core config manager, but, after this and clicking on a link to change a host, group, etc, it asks me to login again. I searched but couldn't find where I can edit one of the .cfg's to fix this? Any help?

Are bumps allowed? I am completely locked out of the core config manager and can't add or remove hosts...

You will need to run the following as root in the terminal

Code: Select all

echo "update tbl_settings set value='3600' where category='security' and name='logofftime'"|mysql -pnagiosxi nagiosql
