All too often, my ssh session will freeze. I'm fairly certain the problem is at my end.
Any suggestions on how to diagnose?
I can remember having this sort of issue a while back. I believe it turned out that our PIX firewall was being a bit too aggressive in pruning what it thought were idle sessions. Adding the following to my ~/.ssh/config file seems to have fixed it:
ServerAliveInterval 15 ServerAliveCountMax 3
The manpage for ssh_config describes these parameters and how they interact.
YMMV!
