ssh time out

Safarali — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 06:06:23 GMT

one of the user is telling that his session is exiting or time out after a some time
he is using fsecure terminal
I could not find any time out variable in sshd_config file I put the TMOUT value in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login but still the same problem, your help in this matter is highly appreciated

Regards

Maybe it's a network issue that's causing his session to exit.

Look into the options KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval for /etc/opt/ssh/sshd_config.

Thanks for your reply but I donot have any variable KeepAlive

I commented out the following

ClientAliveInterval 0
ClientAliveCountMax 3
TCPKeepAlive yes

Shalom Safar,

TMOUT will impact idle sessions. If an application, even one as simple as top is run, it will run forever.

What you uncommented should be the default values.

anyway, for a try change ClientAliveInterval 0 to 120.
