Yes, but that still doesn't solve the problem. If I use the forum and walk away without logging-out, the next person to use the machine will be automatically logged-in as me, as long as they do so before the expiration time.

The problem here isn't so much one of security; it's always the individual's fault for not logging-out correctly. The problem is the automatic login that happens when a careless user leaves things this way. I can foresee cases where the second user starts posting things to the forum without even realizing they are logged-in as someone else.

By the way, you might want to note in the admin CP screen that the cookie timeout setting is meaningless if session cookies are being used.
