I've got Mac-OSX and RedHat 8.0 Linux boxes.  When I ssh from the Mac to
Linux and let the connection sit idle for a long time, the connection
times out and I get logged out of the Linux box.  Shell is bash at both
ends.

What's causing the timeouts?  I've searched the bash, ssh, and sshd man
pages and config files, and can't find anything that talks about idle
timeouts.

Do you have TMOUT set?  the 'env' command should show it.
