Ok, it might be your shell.  Bash, for example, has a variable called
TMOUT. Do the following command and see if it returns anything (if you are
using the bash shell):

echo $TMOUT

TMOUT  If  set  to a value greater than zero, the value is
              interpreted as the number of seconds  to  wait  for
              input  after issuing the primary prompt.  Bash ter

              input does not arrive.
