I do have a couple of users that have a = legitimate need to keep their SSH tunnel open as long as they need it. However, on 7.2 idled logs that it's disconnecting a user for idle, but = it doesn't actually happen. Is there a kernel parameter or something = other than idled that does the same thing (namely excluding users or = groups from being idled disconnected)? Thanks! Scott=
