As you've figured out, the default timeout is 20 minutes.

To alter this default:

1. stop your server
2. edit var/config/config.xml
3. locate the openejb module element and make it looks something like:

     <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb/2.1.2-SNAPSHOT/ 
car">
         <gbean name="EJBNetworkService">
             <attribute name="port">${OpenEJBPort + PortOffset}</ 
attribute>
             <attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</attribute>
         </gbean>
         <gbean name="DefaultStatefulContainer">
             <attribute name="properties">PoolSize=1000
               TimeOut=30</attribute>
         </gbean>
     </module>

For an infinite TimeOut, set the value to 0.
