I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to increase the inactivity timeout auto disconect when ssh'ing into DH servers.
Thanks, Mark

I haven't encountered this. How long does it take to log you out? This interval is set in the server's sshd.conf file, which you can not modify. It's generally a good idea for a server to auto-log out inactive sessions.

Yeah, my timeout seems pretty long. I'd actually like to see it shorter. :)

Check your client isn't doing keep-alives.

I just timed mine and it's around 9 minutes. Which I suppose sounds long. I found a keep alive setting on my ssh client so I'm going to set it to 8 minutes and see if that does the trick.
