losing ssh connection

[Nate Amsden <aphro@portal.aphroland.org>]

i've had this problem for a while and finally concluded it must be
something with IPMASQ.

frequently i lose SSH connections to remote machines if they are idle
for too long. last night i lost a connection that is outside my MASQ'd
network but still on a local lan

message is:
tux:/home/aphro# Read from remote host tux.linuxpowered.net: Connection
reset by peer
Connection to tux.linuxpowered.net closed.
debug: Transferred: stdin 284, stdout 10929, stderr 114 bytes in 8024.4
seconds
debug: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 1.4, stderr 0.0
debug: Exit status -1
debug: compress outgoing: raw data 1807, compressed 1417, factor 0.78
debug: compress incoming: raw data 12550, compressed 6295, factor 0.50

i suppose i could increase the timeout for ipmasq ?? but for something
like SSH i would like it never to timeout ..

any ideas ??

thanks!

nate
