[Christoph Martin: idle-timeout]

[Christoph Martin <martin@uni-mainz.de>]

Hi folks,

triggered by the entry in DWN about dropping ssh-nonfree I am comming
back to the issue of the idle-timeout in openssh. This is option is
the last point why I have to use ssh-nonfree on one box. I sent the
following message last year but got no answer.

Hi,

ssh-nonfree has a idle-timeout option to end an idle session. I can't
find it in (open)ssh. Is it really missing? The ssh book from O'Reilly
says openssh has this feature. Is there an other way to do it with
openssh?

I really need the feature. Is there another way to do it in openssh or
do we have a chance to implement it in openssh?
