It's got to be done throughout the site, setting it on the login page isn't
enough. .htaccess is a convenient place to do it. ini_set would work if you
have a central inclue file that's included from all the other pages.
Just increasing the session timeouts in .htaccess on shared hosting may not
work as expected - you probably need to set a separate session directory as
well.
