    Hey list,

    I'm curious to know if there is a way to have SSH kill idle sessions
    after a set time in Fedora 2 and 3. I've been looking around and haven't
    really found any way of doing this. The closest settings I've found are
    these:

    ClientAliveInterval
    ClientAliveCountMax

    However, these only seem relevant if the client's connection drops off
    or something. I'd like to have the session be killed after 15 minutes of
    sitting idle, even if the connection itself is good. I've seen reference
    to a setting called IdleTimeout in other versions of SSH, but that
    doesn't appear to be a valid setting any longer, or at least not for the
    Linux versions.

    So, I'm hoping someone has come across this already and may have some
    ideas on how to go about getting this set up.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
