Hi All, I noticed of late my ssh & sftp connections have been timing out very quickly. If I leave my machine (or do not use the ssh connection) for even 10 minutes the connection will timeout and I will have to close the window and re-connect. I am unsure whether the problem exists with my local machine or my university's servers (the machines to which I am remotely logging onto). I have the following modules installed (and versions) on my machine: openssh-askpass-4.3p2-19.fc6 openssh-clients-4.3p2-19.fc6 openssh-server-4.3p2-19.fc6 openssh-4.3p2-19.fc6 While my university is running the following versions: fuse-sshfs-1.7-1.fc4 openssh-server-4.2p1-fc4.10 openssh-askpass-4.2p1-fc4.10 openssh-4.2p1-fc4.10 openssh-askpass-gnome-4.2p1-fc4.10 openssh-clients-4.2p1-fc4.10 Was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on this or provide some sort of explanation? Thanks for your assistance. Cheers, Tony Crouch
