Hi all,

gosh, I must be overlooking something obvious. Running mysql 4.0.16. I
want to set the wait_timeout in my.cnf (section [mysql]) like:

wait_timeout = 300

also tried the depricated

set-variable = wait_timeout=300

Both are not working; still default to 28800. Sure, I stopped and
started the server.


However, when I set the variable in the mysql-client with:

set wait_timeout=30;

the variable wait_timeout is changed!


What am I overlooking? I really want to set this in my config-file,
rather that setting it manually in the client... Any hints?


PS. Linux Redhat 9 out of the Box, kernel 2.4.20-8
