I often use ssh to access other computers at school. However, I can't make these connections persistent. If there is no activity (say in 20 minutes), the ssh connection just freezes up. As a result, I have to kill all the gvim, xterm windows opened from that terminal. This is very annoying if I am coding something. Is it possible to make ssh connections which do not freeze even if there is no activity for a while?
That sounds like a security feature configured on the host side.You could write a little bash script that pings a remote host every few minutes. That would keep your link alive.
