It's not specific to SSH, but you might check out idled
(http://www.darkwing.com/idled/).  It's no longer being maintained,
but as far as I know it still works just fine.

Hello,

Is there any way of configuring OpenSSH, we're running version 3.8.1p1, to 
disconnect idle sessions after n minutes of inactivity? I've seen references 
to an idle-timeout parameter but this doesn't appear in the sshd_config man 
page. I've tried  ClientAliveInterval ClientAliveCountMax but these only 
cause sshd to terminate dead/hung sessions, inactive sessions are unaffected.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mike Rushton
