In my recent experience it doesn't seem to be based on inactivity at
all. When I'm creating new RHN accounts I can't even complete two new
accounts before I'm required to login again. I get redirected to the
login page right in the middle on a continuous stream of work on RHN
and it is very annoying indeed.
