If you look at the manual page ssh_config (5), you will find some parameter in the client configuration that my play a role on this behaviour (I am not an expert so I am not giving direct response here): ServerAliveCountMax ServerAliveInterval TCPKeepAlive In the manual page sshd_config you can find some parameter about the server side (for instance ClientAliveCountMax ClientAliveInterval TCPKeepAlive), but you need root access on the server to change this parameters. As suggested in a previous reply screen may solve your problem, but it has a rather steep learning-curve (but you just need a few command to use it for your purpose) AnyFile _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
