Symptoms
SSH Sessions to DPOD servers disconnect after 5 minutes. This might become an issue when executing long-running system activities via SSH.
Cause
As part of the appliance hardening, a short timeout value (300 seconds) is set for the SSH session.If you need to perform long-running system activities,
Resolution
To temporarily disable SSH timeout you may issue the following commands:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

...
...
sed -i '/^.*ClientAliveInterval.*$/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sed -i '/^.*ClientAliveCountMax.*$/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd restart |
Once your long running activity has completed, issue the following commands to reinstate the short timeout settings:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
sed -i 's/^.*ClientAliveInterval.*$/#ClientAliveInterval 300/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config sed -i 's/^.*ClientAliveCountMax.*$/#ClientAliveCountMax 0/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config service sshd restart |
