Hi, I'm used to using putty on windows. In order to keep my connections alive I have to set it to send a null ever 20 seconds, this stops my NAT ADSL router from dropping the connection. In ssh from the commandline on my SuSe box I can't find an option to do this, so the connections get dropped within 10 minutes. Is there such an option? Regards, Dave,

Regards, Dave,
man ssh and see if you find such a thing. I doubt it. But I'll bet that between ping and cron you could come up with something. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Ping and cron are unnecessary. See "man sshd_config" and "man ssh_config" and look for KeepAlives and ClientAliveInterval, etc. It works fine for me. Jim
