Session geting disconnected before IDLE_TIME in profile

Question

Hi !
My database is :
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 9.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
on os :
SQL> !uname -a
Linux abc-dc 2.4.21-50.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 8 17:18:29 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have created a profile Kill_session and set idle_time as 30 minutes(I think the unit for this value is min).
and the profile has been given to the a user genweb. Now when I log in with genweb the session getting disconnected very frequently....not even staying 3 min. inactive.
Its showing :
ORA-02396: exceeded maximum idle time, please connect again
But if I assign default profile to the user genweb in which idle_time is unlimited the session is not getting disconnected.
The ping response is strong. Issue is happening in both the case, if I connect via listener or connect logging in the server.
Also :
sho parameter resource
NAME TYPE VALUE
enqueue_resources integer 1692
resource_limit boolean TRUE
resource_manager_plan string
SQL> select * from dba_profiles where profile='KILL_SESSION';
