I just took a look at the man page for both sshd and sshd_config, and I
don't seen an option for IdleTimeout. There is:
ClientAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
been received from the client, sshd will send a message through
the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The
default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to
the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
Not sure if that's what you're looking for, though. If you're just
looking to log out dle users after a certain period of time, check out:
