Maybe you could try something like this in /etc/profile:
if (grep sshd /proc/$PPID/cmdline >/dev/null 2>&1); then
export TMOUT=whatever
fi

(ClientAliveInterval doesn't seem to do this). Googling didn't help
much either. I found an environment variable for the bash and ksh
shells that I can put in /etc/profile:
# export TMOUT=<timeout_in_seconds>
and this works, but it unceremoniously dumps the connection. And, if
you are
logged in to the gui at the console, and you have terminal windows
open (not
using ssh) it will close those too. Again with no warning.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
