There's a debian specific flag for ssh called 'ServerTimeOut' which allows ssh to give up if no data from the server is received for the specified number of seconds.
Does anybody know the equivalent option for centos-ssh?
Just wondering what you need this for? the TCP timeout(s) in the OS will terminate the session for you if no data is received, are you interested in dramatically shortening that window for some reason?
See the man page for ssh_config for these options: ServerAliveInterval ServerAliveCountMax
I use the first one to maintain ssh sessions across stateful firewalls, otherwise the firewalls often terminate idle connections.
