Hanging On sftp-server

Subject: Hanging On sftp-server
Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 15:56:40 -0700
List,
On this one server I have the sftp-server connections hang on forever! I'm connecting with a dsa key to the machine and sftp-ing with the ftp plugin for jedit. I have another machine that I sftp to that doesn't have this problem, same version of ssh/ssl, configs are the same too. No firewalls, I don't see anything in the log output (debug1) that I see as a problem except that the connection isn't closed, but I have the config set with:


ClientAliveInterval 60
ClientAliveCountMax 3

Shouldn't that kill it after 3 minutes? The sftp connections sometimes hang on for days! The standard SSH connections with PuTTY don't have this issue, they die as expected.
