Is the one that times out a laptop? I seem to remember there are some userland preferences in MacOSX that specify if you want to go into power save after so many minutes (so many is set by the user). The default is 10 minutes. Go into Apple-> Preferences (and I think it's under desktop settings but I may be wrong there). Just set it to never time out. I don't think there is anything wrong at the Linux end.

Both are running OS X 10.2.8 but one will time out after about 10 minutes of no activity with the following message: Read from remote host <hostname>: Connection reset by peer Connection to <hostname> closed. The other never times out. My user (happens to be my wife) is getting very p**d off with me because I can't fix it. Can someone help me save my marriage? I can't see anything in sshd2_config that would point to the problem, and in any case it only happens for the one specific client. I've googled and can't find any solutions, although others seem to have had the same problem. I can log into the linux box from anywhere else with no problem. The LAN is setup thus: server -> switch -> os x(doesn't time out) | switch | os x(times out) Could that have anything to do with it? Thanks..
