Auto-log out feature?

[Wiseguym]

Dear all,

I've been trying to run some downloads overnight, but in the morning when I wake up the screen, I've been logged off my computer. It's happened a couple times now, so I'm pretty sure it's not a power supply issue. I've looked, but I can't find any settings about auto-log off in the Help files, or in the System Preferences. Any input?

BTW, I've set up a guest account on my computer and I'm deleting that to see if it resolves the problem. If so, great, if not, your input is appreciated.

Thanks.

Under Security there's an option for auto log out. Is that selected?
There is also a "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver" option

Got it, thanks.
