[sllug-members]: OpenSSH Idle Timeout

[Jason Edwards]

Again, that does the opposite of what I'm looking for:

"Enabling either option and setting the interval for less than the
time it takes to time out your session will ensure that the connection
is kept 'fresh' in the device's connection table."

I don't want to keep the connection "fresh," I want to kill it if it
gets stale...
