Happening once an hour this morning.
On sh.sonic.net it happens all day long, on bolt it only happens once a week.

Thanks,
Vic

I still get a lot of disconnects on putty.
How long should putty stay up on sh?
Thanks,
Vic

It shouldn't be disconnecting at all. Can you give me the time of one of the disconnects? I can check the log file for anything amiss.

Unfortunately I cannot give exact times.
They seem to happen when I am not using the window.
It seems to be an inactivity thing as they stay up as long as I keep using them.

I had four or five this weekend while at home.
One yesterday morning between 04:30 and 08:00.
I am connected through comcast when at home.
None during the day while at work yesterday.
None at home this morning.

Thanks,
Vic

Did some homework on this. Looks like sshd will close the connection if it doesn't hear back from the client in 45 seconds. That seems a little short, given the nature of what we know about Comcast, so I've increased the timeout time to 2.5 minutes.
