Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny4
Severity: normal
In mysql.conf I have:
[mysqld]
wait_timeout = 3600
However, mysql does not appear to be respecting this since lenny4, and also not
when using the set global syntax:
mysql> show variables like 'wait_timeout';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| wait_timeout | 28800 |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global wait_timeout = 30;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> show variables like 'wait_timeout';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| wait_timeout | 28800 |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I suspect the reporter was confused by the fact that there are actually
two wait timeout settings for MySQL. interactive_timeout is copied into
the session's wait_timeout variable when the mysql command line client
is used interactively.
This functions properly, as does normal wait_timeout, on 5.5.30+dfsg-1
and on the Ubuntu 12.10 packages for 5.5.29 as well.
