I would leave a terminal open (with an ssh session to a remote site),
come
back
on monday and type a few commands and it jwould just freeze. But it also happen from time to time randomly during the day (but
still
with
days old terminals).
And it is not a simple timeout; it is a total terminal freeze. The thing is that, on monday, I can still use it a little bit before it freezes... I would do a ls or df... and it works for a while and then it freezes in the middle of the output...
I am having a similar problem. I have some CentOS boxes serving SSH inside the network, and I reach them from home across an older Fedora 3 gateway box. Some variable time after I quit working for a while (perhaps around two minutes, but sometimes much longer), the connection is lost. It has stunned me also, that when you are back at the keyboard, you can get some characters through before the connection shuts down. Would like to have it explained.
