--- Comment #2 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
So, ClientAliveInterval=0 was never intended as an idle mechanism and
never really worked as one. E.g. a client that has ServerAliveInterval
set would never times out.

AFAIK most shells support the $TMOUT variable to configure an idle
timeout and putting "SetEnv TIMOUT=600" in sshd_config seems to work
fine for the shells that I have at hand (bash and ksh). Is anything
more inside sshd actually required?
