Please forgive my ignorance on this but looking at the documentation now 
for timeout I'm not certain this addresses what I want to do.

I have users who access their information via certain CGI in their 
public_html/bin directories of the home directories.

When they access their CGI and files they are prompted for their username
and password via the pop-up window.

What I would like to have happen is after say 30 minutes of inactivity, if 
someone tries to click a button or run a CGI, they get prompted with the
pop-up login window of Apaches.

Does Timeout address that?

Sorry if this is "intuitively obvious",

Mike
