When I either telnet in or sftp the system will only allow the idle time for like 20 seconds before it cuts off my connection. Then I have to log in again.

How can I change the idle settings? If no activity in the window it will at least sit for 2 min or so.

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Uncomment #ClientAliveInterval and put a number

e.g. ClientAliveInterval 120

bknoob · 06-30-2006, 06:35 PM

oh and restart ssh

I dont have Client, but I have this #LoginGraceTime 120

Would that work??

no that's not it, what distro are you using?

Your getting deep on me, what is distro?

bknoob · 06-30-2006, 06:44 PM

If you are using OpenSSH, you should be able to use ClientAliveInterval

Just add if you don't see it uncommented. (ClientAliveInterval 300)

and then reload/restart the service - /sbin/service sshd reload (depends on distro)

I was just wondering what OS you are running i.e. redhat, bsd, etc..

BradM · 06-30-2006, 06:45 PM

distro = distribution

Nah, that's the kernel version.

Try '/etc/init.d/ssh restart' (or sshd or something like that) to reload the SSH server - should work on most distributions.
