Re: Why does session.gc_maxlifetime default to 1440 seconds?

Hey Yasuo, Yes, there can surely be no other reason for the existence of the value, than that someone wrote it :) I think what I'm interested in is the reasoning behind it, since it seems so arbitrary. It's not 20 or 30 minuts, for example. I have tried emailing the author a long time ago but never received a reply.
