Rule version SOL-11.1-050460 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-19

Discussion

Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network.

The operating system needs to ensure all sessions and network connections are terminated when nonlocal maintenance is completed.

Check

Determine if SSH is configured to disconnect sessions after 10 minutes of inactivity.

# grep ClientAlive /etc/ssh/sshd_config

If the output of this command is not the following, this is a finding.

ClientAliveInterval 600 ClientAliveCountMax 0

Fix

The root role is required.

Configure the system to disconnect SSH sessions after 10 minutes of inactivity.

# pfedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Insert the two lines:

ClientAliveInterval 600 ClientAliveCountMax 0

Restart the SSH service with the new configuration.

# svcadm restart svc:/network/ssh
