    Helo all,

    I am using OpenSSH_3.5p1 on Solaris 8
    The SSH sessions never timeout !!
    (Though i have found people struggling to have such a thing!)

    I have set the ClientAliveInterval and the ClientAliveCountMax options
    in the /usr/local/etc/sshd_config
    I want to set a timeout of 10 minutes
    I have set the values as follows in the sshd_config file :
    ClientAliveInterval 2m
    ClientAliveCountMax 5

    But still my sessions don't timeout.
    I tried setting a lower timeout value but without luck :(

    Am i missing something ? Pls provide some inputs

    -Rahul
