I'm running Mandrake 10.1 on my workstation and CentOS 4.1 on my test
server and have never had a problem with sessions ending, even
overnight.  Could it be your client that is ending the session?  When
I use the  non-commercial SSH Secure Shell on Windows XP it ends the
session after a few minutes of inactivity.
