[PLUG] ssh disconnect weirdness


Dumb question: I have several servers with some ssh weirdness. Some, when I try to logout of the ssh session it hangs the terminal. Sometimes if I wait a while my client will eventually release it and I'll get back to my local shell. On other servers, if the connection is inactive for more than I few minutes the session is closed. I suspect the later is due to a 3rd party firewall port-forward (ie: watchguard or firebox), but I'm not totally sure. But I do get this on some boxes with a Linux firewall, so is there a setting I should be looking for?
