The Solaris machine we do most of our development on has an annoying habit of timing out SSH sessions. Doesn't matter whether the client is my Ubuntu desktop, my Solaris desktop or my Windows desktop (putty); the common factor is the big Solaris machine.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? It's annoying when you take a lunch break and the terminal sessions you've got open and delicately configured are all frozen so you need to kill them all and reestablish all of your context.
Best Answer
Yes. Configure SSH to send keepalive packets.
