Is there any firewall between the server and the client? If so, the firewall
might be switching off the idle ssh connections. If this infact is your
problem, to keep the ssh connections alive use ServerAliveInterval option
in your ~/.ssh/config . More info can be found at the man page of
ssh_config.
