[Bug 3803] Connections not kept alive with ServerAliveInterval

--- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Yes, but that's not data over an active channel.

ServerAliveInterval is for keeping the connection awake through
firewalls and NAT devices that timeout connections that send no
traffic.

It will have no effect to prevent a connection that is sending no real
user data over an open channel from being affected by ChannelTimeout,
and will not prevent a server from closing a connection with no active
channels after UnusuedConnectionTimeout

The "unused" in UnusuedConnectionTimeout means "actual user data"
