Você precisa usar ClientAliveInterval
no seu sshd_config
.
ClientAliveInterval 15
Ref: man sshd_config
ClientAliveCountMax
Sets the number of client alive messages (see below) which may be
sent without sshd(8) receiving any messages back from the client.
If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are
being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating the
session. It is important to note that the use of client alive
messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive (below). The client
alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and
therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option
enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism
is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a
connection has become inactive.
The default value is 3. If ClientAliveInterval (see below) is
set to 15, and ClientAliveCountMax is left at the default,
unresponsive SSH clients will be disconnected after approximately
45 seconds. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
ClientAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message
through the encrypted channel to request a response from the
client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will
not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol
version 2 only.
