Miark, do you suffer the problem very often ? Could you try to temporarily make a link from /dev/random to /dev/urandom ?
Actually, I have to take that back. After I made the sshd config changes:
ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 5
it did hang on me once, but I'm looking at Konsole rigth now, and my connection to the CentOS box has stayed alive all day. I guess all is well.
I'll keep your suggestion, though. If the hangs return, I'll give your idea a shot.
Thanks, Miark
A couple of years back I was running into this problem very consistently, SSH sessions from my home to my office would just be dropped after a while. After talking to the network administrator I found that the Cisco firewall we were using would "prune" what it saw as inactive connections after a specific period of time. Adding the ClientAlive* entries to the sshd_config file has resolved this for me. -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey@mindless.com
