You can also put lines like: ServerAliveInterval 300 ServerAliveCountMax 3 in ssh_config. That will cause ssh to send periodic alive messages. I use those to avoid the same problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks ... Putty has an option to send keep alives every few seconds as does SecureCRT. are you using that? More than likely the firewall in the linksys is killing the connection after 5 minutes of inactivity. My sonicwall was doing the same until i started using the keepalive. set it to like 30 seconds to start and go from there ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Those are, ummm, Windows clients, right? :) I'm using OpenSSH on a FreeBSD desktop ... does it have similar? :) Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email .

For ssh1, you need to tweak the system timers on either the server or client system; this is of course system-dependent. ClientAlive* are ssh protocol keepalives: the server and the client exchange encrypted messages to test and maintain the connection. This is more useful than tcp keepalives in some applications. Checkout man 5 sshd_config and look for ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax. might be worth playing with. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
