I've been working on tweaking RHEL4 for settings to meet various security requirements. One question that has come up is whether an ssh session can have an idle timeout set. I'd thought that using ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax were the solution (restart sshd after mods). However, I am not seeing that happen. So, the question, are these 2 parameters suppose to work for idle timeout, or are they used only for when the client "system" really goes to lunch? Are there parameters for setting idle timeout for ssh sessions?
