Does it die after a certain period of inactivity? Have them leave a shell open, running something like:
watch -n 3 w


and see if it still happens...if it does not disconnect, I think I can dig up a solid lead for you :)

So he just got disconnected again. The error messages that get displayed are as follows:

debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open:

So its getting killed from somewhere, maybe the machine he is connecting to. It just seems weird because it doesn't kill my connections...


Thanks,
Jim

Neat. The -vvv option seems like it might help shed some light on the situation, at least as long as he uses a client that allows it. He is working from a windows workstation.

There is no NAT between the server and client. It's a rather small LAN, I think there is a hub and two switches between the machines...

You can connect using
ssh -vvv [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and see all the debug messages ssh will give you

If there is a NAT box between the two machines you will occasionally
see connections terminating on idle, the solution for that is to make
sure that both the client and the server are issuing keepalive packets
more frequently than the NAT buffer expires.

If you were seeing some sort of network level issue the affected
workstation would have other problems as well. (unable to see most of
the network, etc.)
