These settings enable the server (program) to maintain an active dialog with the client (program) even when the human user at the client end is away, asleep, dead, etc. The client should not be unresponsive simply because the human user has stepped away from the keyboard: the ssh client will still receive packets sent from the server. The client will be unresponsive if the client program has frozen or the connection has been broken. These are not for user-idle circumstances, they are - as that man page excerpt notes - for unresponsive SSH clients. I think you are missing the point of these settings. So preventing your server from keeping the connection alive may not be sufficient, but it's definitely necessary. Either one of them can engage in activity to prevent idle timeouts: i.e., when the human user is idle/away the client or the server can send null packets or initate some other keep-alive activity - if either one is actively keeping the connection alive, it will remain alive. Whether or not a connection actually times out will depend both on the server and on the client. You've overriddent the default explicitly instructing the server to try to prevent timing out. Setting ClientAliveInterval is not the way to make the server time out on inactivity, it is the way to prevent the server from timing out on inactivity. i want it to timeout on inactivity lets say after 4 minute.ĭo you have sources for this? Either they are wrong, or you misinterpretted them.

I have tried to google this but folks are all interested in how to prolong/avoid timeout. Not sure if it matters but the time on the Archlinux is 5 sec ahead of the time on Debian. Btw, the iwd, dhcpcd & openSSH - these are started manually, they are not enabled.īoth laptops connected to router, Debian by cable, Archlinux by wifi. XFCE4 too - i do not use it much, mainly move around it through tmux or cli. This is just normal installation of Archlinux, with iwd, dhcpcd & openSSH installed. (This client has its own ssh server running that i can connect to from Archlinux laptop, it does timeout the connection after the period set in sshd_config,) If i leave it as it is and do nothing no matter how long, the client remains connected - the server does not timeout connection. I can connect to if from client (debian 10 laptop) without any problem.

The openSSH server on my Archlinux laptop seems to be running just fine except that it somehow does not drop the connection to the client after the timeout period has passed. Can someone please advise on what could be the problem here or what to have a look at?
