ssh problem

[plasmid]

whenever I connect to another machine using ssh (openssh), if I do nothing for about a minute and a half or so (e.i. I go to make a snack) I recieve the following message and I am automatically disconnected.

Received disconnect from 123.456.7.89 (or whatever the ip address is) : 2: Protocol error: packet 32 in interactive

I used to have no problems keeping ssh connections open for as lond as I wanted...but now I have to be actively using it. What is causing this???

You need to have:

KeepAlive=yes

in the ssh_config file on one or both ends.

[from "man ssh"]
