Putty disconnects session.


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi all,
Whenever I connect via Putty to SLES server (from computer, where I have Vista) the session is automatically disconnected after 2-3 minutes. Is it possible to change it somehow? I am not if this is problem with PUTTY configuration of Windows.

You must configure putty to send Keepalives (Check the appropriate option in the Connection section and use a number other that zero in the field in the top)
Then uncomment the "ClientAliveInterval" in your server /etc/ssgd_config, select a bigger number that the one you used for putty and restart sshd.
