            Bug ID: 3362
           Summary: [RFE] Implement a mechanism to disconnect idle users
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.8p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: ggasparb at redhat.com

Many security policies have a security requirement related to
disconnect idle users from remote connections. So far, this requirement
has been fulfilled by misusing the ClientAliveInterval and
ClientAliveCountMax options by setting ClientAliveCountMax to zero.
Newer version of openssh dropped completely this undocumented behavior
and currently there is no other alternative to fulfill the requirement.

This RFE is to add such mechanism where idle users are automatically
disconnected from the remote connection after a certain predefined
time.
