ssh session times out annoyingly fast, why?

I'm using ssh from a debian box to a rasberry pi (sorta debian also :). For some reason ssh sessions seem to time out pretty quickly. I've tried setting ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax and also ServerAliveInterval and ServerAliveCountMax, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

make ping executable by normal users?

On my old debian system I could ping as a normal user. The ping binary had the suid bit set. Now I get: $ ping www.google.com ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted 2 $ presumably because the bit isn't set. What's the right fix? I could setuid it but then if I understand

somehow network-manager makes it work. But I've had it with gnome, and none of the command line tools or references I've found work. That includes /etc/network/interfaces, direct use of ifconfig,iw,ip,rfkill,wpa_supplicant,dhclient, and wicd-client (though it's not really what I want. Is this
