Hi,
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 think you have to enable keek alive in both sshd_config and ssh_config, i.e. for the server AND the client.
I have ipchains as firewall, perhaps this is my problem but I don´t know,
--> I don't think the firewall is your problem since you can establish the connection in the first place.
