SSH time outs.

[Anthony J. Gabrielson]

Well I stayy ssh'd into my home computer from work all day.  Sometimes I
won't take touch the session for a good 2 hours - it still plugs along
though when I finally come back to it.  Ussually after 2 hours I will get
disconnected.  I think thats on my work side - as no matter what I connect
to, after two hours of none use will be disconnected.
