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.
