lengthen default ADMIN_COOKIE_LIFE?
I'm coming to consider that the length of the admin-pages cookie (ADMIN_COOKIE_LIFE) is too short. I'm considering extending the default life from 20 minutes to one hour. Alternately, i'm considering having the life of the cookie "refreshed" by the more moderate (20 minute) amount every time it's exercised - though i don't know about that part of cookie functionality, and don't know how complicated that would be. Seems like the latter would be better, if it's fairly straightforward to do. I do think it's incoveniently brief as it is. Thoughts?

Quite. it is a pain. IMHO the ccokie expiration time should be24hrs, and there should be a logout link you can click to delete the cookie before then. This is what yahoo mail & rocketmail do fer web-based mail reading and it sees to work well.
