 Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:33 pm Post subject: ssh disconnects |
 |
|
from my gentoo server, I have a screen session with a ssh session in it to another server..
after about 2-3 days, it will time out with the message
| Code: | Received disconnect from xx.xxx.x.xxx: 2: Timeout, your session not responding.
|
Ive looked all over and supposedly, putting
| Code: | | ServerAliveInterval 60 |
in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config
should send keepalives to keep the session up,
but this doesnt seem to help. I also run an iptables firewall on this gentoo box..
what else could be causing the disconnects?

Does the server have ClientAliveInterval set to anything in the sshd_config file?
The man page says that the default is disabled so if it's not set in there then it's probably not the issue. |

well, I dont have control of the server..
cat: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Permission denied
but I do see other users on the box who have been logged on there for 10 days now.
