I ran into a similar problem with global timeouts... If you go intop the
portmaster and type set all idle 30 (or 15 if you prefer) you set the
global idle time to 30 minutes for all your ports. Livingston claims the
radius software will override the portmaster defaults... in most cases
they do. I'm not sure if ths is a bug in the os or if the dictionary file
needs to be upgraded.

I set my gobal idle to 45 and set the radius to 30. After thirty minmutes
idle the portmaster will kick the connection. I'm thinking the sofyware
defaults will only override the portmaster as long as the portmaster
defaults are higher.
