   $ sudo rcstool co /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   $ sudo grep ^ClientAliveCountMax /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   

3. Run the following command if no result is returned after running step 2:

   $ sudo echo "ClientAliveCountMax 0" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config

   Run the following command if some result is returned after running step 2:

   $ sudo sed -i "s/ClientAliveCountMax.*/ClientAliveCountMax 0/g" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
