I occasionally have to remotely admin a server at the office from home.
I have it set up to only allow a few hosts access via ssh, and my home static IP is on the permitted list. (using hosts.allow, hosts.deny)
I can connect to and log into the server just fine. The session works great as long as I am actively doing something in the shell. However, if I let it sit idle for (it seems) < 1 minute, the session seems to just lock up.
There is no indication that I've been bumped off the server - nothing changes in the window.
But no new keystrokes are registered, and the only way I can exit out of the shell is to close the terminal window.
Where should I be looking to find the cause of this behavior? How can I diagnose what is going on here?
A cursory review of /etc/ssh/sshd_config revealed nothing enlightening. Thanks! - Kimball http://www.kimballlarsen.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
