Try adding the following setting to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file so that sshd notices that the client has gone silent: ClientAliveInterval 120 This will test a silent client every 2 minutes. If 3 attempts (ie. 6 minutes of silence) doesn't yield any response from the client it will be disconnected.
