I want that, if I leave my ssh client for a while(2,3 hours), the sshd
will still keep the connection, not like now, when I ssh to my server and
leave, my ssh client always tell me (both client/serve are RH6.0)

I figure that sshd must have some default value like 10 minutes, if
there's not detected client activities going on for that time period,
it will close the connection.

I turned it off, but still get the same error message.
