[BUGS] SSH timeout

[Jerahmy Pocott]

Hello all, and a happy new year!

On this remote 4.2 stable box I'm having an issue with SSH timing out  
or something.. It seems to be when I'm running a long command where I  
don't provide any input for a few hours, like buildworld or a large  
tar, cp, etc. I come back to find the message:

Read from remote host x.x.x.x: Connection reset by peer
Connection to x.x.x.x closed.

Looking at the various configuration files there doesn't seem to be  
any timeout set, I was wondering if maybe some default is compiled in?  
Of course it could be a gateway closing the connection I guess.. But  
I'v never had this problem on older boxes.. Maybe I'm not looking in  
the right spot?

My current work around has been to run any long processes in the  
background and pipe their output to a file, but this doesn't always  
capture all the messages, especially with things like buildworld..

Cheers,
J.
