Raw message 

You'll need to ensure the network settings have reloaded after increasing
the idle timeout.
Just remember, if you use vouchers based on amount of time, not amount of
data or a fixed expiry, then the idle timeout will be using up the users
time if they forget to logout.

At this stage, I can't see a great need for this feature, given that idle
timeout should solve your issue. Machine accounts also solve your issue.
The problem with remembering a user is what about a use on a public
computer, who forgets to unremember themselves? The normal use case for a
hotspot is casual users, passing by. What is your use case?

Regards

Tim
