Hello list,



I'm facing this unusual demand at work where we need to time out idle SSH 
connections for security purposes.

I've checked the following options from sshd_config but none seems to fit my 
needs :
TCPKeepAlive
ClientAliveCountMax
ClientAliveInterval


Basically, I'm trying to defeat the use of the following client-side option:
ServerAliveInterval 5


I'm afraid all I've hit now is dead ends.


Has anyone ever had the same requirements before and, perhaps, found a solution 
to this ?

There's an idletime parameter in login.conf which will log out idle users. Normally sshd bypasses login, but the sshd config parameter UseLogin can change that, although it disables X11Forwarding.

Note: this is all from a quick perusal of the source and manuals, I've not done it myself.
