Check that you're looking at the variable in the GLOBAL scope not the

Subject: trying to change wait_timeout

I've read the documentation on MySQL for version 5.1 and it says all
I have to do is to place the following:
wait_timeout=xxx
under [mysqld]

That, and restart the service, of course. You *did* think of restarting
the service, I trust? :-p

That being said, it is also a dynamic variable, so if you didn't restart,
prefer not to restart *and* are certain your config file is correct; you can
also do "set global wait_timeout=xxx" to have it take effect immediately for
all new sessions. Yes, that means you'll have to disconnect/reconnect to see
the change in your own session.

Good question to ask.  Yes, I did restart mysql.  Both before and after
show variables like 'wait_time%' returns 28800.  Most confusing.
