Thanks Patrick,
I had a look from /
find . -name "*.conf" -exec grep TimedLoginEnable {} \; -print
and it showed :
TimedLogin= false
for
/etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf
/etc/opt/gnome/gdm/factory-gdm.conf
strange, very strange... could not find anything on the path suggested.
and TimedLogin seemed to be already false everywhere...
