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