So I got a message from root saying something to the effect of "If you leave your ssh sessions idle too long your ssh privileges will be revoked". Is this really the case? I'm afraid I can't stay constantly active during a ssh session, interuptions, data verification, etc, make that impossible. Since I'm just starting the process of moving several web sites over to dathorn, I need to know if this is going to be a problem. If it is then I need to look for another provider as ssh access is important for me.

We certainly don't care if you leave your connection open and idle for a while. It is just when we begin to consistently see idle connections for an hour or more on the same user that we may disable SSH access on the user (after warnings, of course).
All that we ask is very simple: log out if you are not using it. We just don't like to see SSH connections go idle for hours as we have no idea if these were left open on purpose or by accident. The safest way for us to avoid problems is to simply make sure that they get logged out of when they are not actively being used. The last thing that we (and you) want is someone leaving open an SSH connection on a computer that is accessible by others. -
Ok, thank you.
Can you also tell me if you have emacs or jmacs or something similar available?Comment
