Re: making ssh connections persistent

[Tyler MacDonald <tyler@yi.org>]

Kamaraju,

  I have the same problem, I ended up resolving it by setting the following
option;

  ServerAliveInterval=30

  This forces SSH to send traffic around every 30 seconds if it's idle,
keeping my work's firewall happy.

  Cheers,
    Tyler
