some of my users use putty to connect to my server via ssh protocol. After some time they get the above error message, and it could be that my CentOS-side configuration caused this. Do anybody has experience with this problem?
I have seen similar problems if ICMP is blocked.. On my LAN, putty sessions live forever.
They connect via the internet, could it make a difference? And, how can I check if ICMP is blocked?
Now I have made a test from Unix machines using ssh (the program), I did not experience the same problem so it might be with putty and/or with company firewall/user's ISP.
