Try ClientAliveCountMax and ClientAliveInterval. This settings you can check out in "man sshd_config" they are explain there and how to set them. I have set ClientAliveCountMax to 60, but you can do it as its best for you.

Cheers!

Or you could do it for all logins (not just ssh) by adding it to the system profile for the specific shell.

e.g. TMOUT=600 in /etc/bashrc for bash, or in /etc/profile for sh, and ksh. There is a similar timeout available for csh in /etc/login.
