I'm connection to an external network using a VPN configured over an Ubuntu.
The problem is that whenever I get connected to a remote computer using my VPN as router, after a while, sometimes short, sometimes long, sometimes immediately, the connection gets lost and I've to reconnect to the remote computer.
I've checked the ssh configuration on the machine running the VPN and I think the error is not coming from that way, I'm guessing the VPN somehow fails and drops the connection, I don't think this is a networking issue either because I can be connected using another vpn program like Cisco's and the connection won't fail
Any information on how could I check where the SSH connection fails would be appreciated. also, if anyone has been in a similar situation and has information I might find useful would ve very welcome.

Without much activity the connection drop.
on the client side you could try to
Code:
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=2
If it works you can set your ServerAliveInternal to whatever works (2 5 10 100 ?) in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Basically it creates traffic to keep your session alive.
On the server side you could check or modify the ClientAliveInterval
Hello Forum,
I'm using a bit of code from a script I found that allows me to capture the status code of connecting via SSH to remote servers:

status="$(echo $?)"

Guys,
Can I use an open RDP port to gain ssh access to my Linux server running the other side of our firewall?
I work from home on the odd occasion, we only have RDP port 3389 available once logged into the VPN. I would rather ssh into my workstation without the need for a desktop display.

Hello All,
I want to test how much parallel ssh connections can be done on a server.
I am thinking of reading username and hostname from a file and then using a loop (may be for) to do ssh on different host.
Could anyone suggest me how can i write the script for the above.
Thank you in... (0 Replies)

Hello,
What is the best way to disallow new ssh connections for the duration of my session ?
I want to evade read/write collisions. Things work like that - one session put files on server, other copies these files and then deletes them. So in order to evade collision:

I'm investigating an issue where rsync's to an AIX server will sometimes fail. I suspect the problem might be due to the number of simultaneous SSH connections being made to the host dropping the rsync attempts. I'd like to view the number of open ssh connections.
