Frequently I log in by ssh to a remote computer. If I don't keep
using the connection, after a few minutes I get the message
" Read from remote host deeptow: Connection reset by peer
Connection to deeptow closed."
Browsing around in /etc/ssh/sshd_config I don't see any way to adjust
the timeout value. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
I find "KeepAlive yes" in sshd_config on the remote system.
I find "#TCPKeepAlive yes" in sshd_conf on the local system. So it is
commented out.
"ClientAliveInterval" is mentioned in man sshd_config but is not
present in the config file.
The remote system is:
deeptow: cdl 504$ uname -a
Linux deeptow 2.2.20 #2 Wed Mar 20 19:57:28 EST 2002 alpha unknown
deeptow: cdl 505$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.2.20 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011006
(Debian prerelease)) #2 Wed Mar 20 19:57:28 EST 2002
The local system is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -a
Linux delta 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp #1 SMP Fri Oct 21 04:03:26 EDT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

deeptow: /usr/sbin/sshd has RCS Id strings, the first one is
$OpenBSD: sshd.c,v 1.251 2002/06/25 18:51:04 markus Exp $
delta:/usr/sbin/sshd does not have RCS Id strings, but does contain
the identifying message OpenSSH_3.9p1-FC-3.9p1-8.0.3
I would think that any negotiation about timeout would take place
between ssh on the local system and sshd on the remote.
