Re: SSH timing out

We have two remote servers both RedHat 9. One times out on SSH the other does not.

How do I stop the one timing out from doing so ?

It's difficult to say, but could look at your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and enable TCPKeepAlive on the server,

TCPKeepAlive yes

Don't forget to restart sshd after this and the change will be in affect at next login.


If the problem would be client side, then look at the /etc/ssh/ssh_config, there you find ConnectTimeout, setting this to 0 should prevent client side disconects

ConnectTimeout 0


But there can still be other problems like a bed gateway in between, which can cause the connection to break, but thats not so common.
