sshd - time out idle connections

Hello list,



I'm facing this unusual demand at work where we need to time out idle SSH connections for security purposes.

I've checked the following options from sshd_config but none seems to fit my needs :
TCPKeepAlive
ClientAliveCountMax
ClientAliveInterval


Basically, I'm trying to defeat the use of the following client-side option:
ServerAliveInterval 5


I'm afraid all I've hit now is dead ends.


Has anyone ever had the same requirements before and, perhaps, found a solution to this ?
