Unless you have a specific need for ssh tunnels, you could simply setup a VPN tunnel between your host and the server using ipsec and thus ALL your connections to the server go through that secure tunnel. You don't need keepalives for that. Noah.

Hello,
I have Suse 9.0 and I use ssh to create tunnels to access several services of the server. My problem is that ssh close the connections if there is no activity in the tunnel. I have the property KeepAlive yes in the sshd_config but I doesnt work. I have ipchains as firewall, perhaps this is my problem but I don´t know,
¿any idea?
Thaks
