    Hi all,

    I need to configure ssh session timeout (OpenSSH_5.0p1) for 2 hours. For this purpose I changed sshd_config:
    ClientAliveInterval 7200
    ClientAliveCountMax 0

    If ClientAliveInterval is less than 2 hours (for example 10 minutes) it works fine. However if I change the value to 7200 seconds it never times out.
    I thought the problem is related to AIX TCP_KEEPIDLE parameter, which is set to 14400 half seconds by default. However increasing TCP_KEEPIDLE comes to nothing.
    What else could be the reason why setting session timeout value for 2 hours timeout doesn't work?
