I'm having a problem with premature termination of ssh sessions after an idle period of a few minutes, getting a "connection reset by peer" message. I presume this is due to intermediate stateful firewalls closing the connection when no traffic passes for a period of time.
In the past I've addressed this issue when I have control of the destination host, by including the following parameters in sshd_config: ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 4 However in this case I don't have control over the destination. It's a self-contained network device. man 5 ssh_conf says that "KeepAlive" is the default with ssh. Is there any other tactic I can use to keep these connections from closing after a few minutes of inactivity? Currently on FreeBSD 4.8-stable with OpenSSH_3.5p1 -- Philip J.
