I believe the timeout value is a 32bit unsigned integer, but don''t quote me on that.
As for an unlimited timeout value, I don''t think there is one, and it''s a bad idea either way. If it was unlimited the only way to end the session would be to manually call session.abandon. If the user just switches sites or closes his broswer without "loging out" then the session will never end. Sooner or later your website will start crawling as it runs out of memory from unclosed sessions, then eventually crash.

ACtually, I would like to have the session never timeout while I''m working. I HATE THAT! Knight, try setting it to 0. I think it makes the max value out of that.
