    I am trying to figure out how to keep a remote ssh session from being
    timed out by my FreeBSD (5.3) server.

    I've done a lot of searching on the subject, and everyone points to
    ClientAliveInterval, ClientAliveCountMax and KeepAlive in sshd_config.
      Problem is, these setting don't help since they seem to be about
    connections closing, not leaving a terminal session idle.

    My problem is I've ssh'd in from my Mac to my FreeBSD server, and I
    need that ssh window to stay open forever. Right now it closes after
    about 30 minutes of nothing being sent either way.

    Sometimes I get a "Connection closed" error, and sometimes the Mac
    terminal window just hangs and I have to close it. I have the same
    problem when shh'ing in from a Windows machine using Putty, except
    Putty has a option to send NUL chars every X minutes to keep the
    session alive, which works, but I would rather just keep the server
    from timing it out, and I don't use a Widows machine anymore.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Ron
