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?

Hi, this may also be due to a router. Do you use some? I, for instance, use a D-Link 624+, which ignores each keep alive setting of ssh and kills the connection after 1000 seconds idle time. Unfortunatly, there is no possibility to increase the router's idle time for ssh connections. In the web, however, you can find work arounds (using special login and logout scripts on the target machine) to enforce dummy traffic before the connection is shut down automatically. Andreas
