Description Dave 2016-01-12 15:37:29 UTC

With the apparent move to El Capitan, XQuartz keeps dropping my ssh connections to LINUX machines after a certain period of time.  The exact error is 

packet_write_wait: Connection to <IP address>: Broken pipe

On Yosemite I used 'ssh -Y' and was never dropped.  I have no idea if this is an El Capitan problem or an unexpected interaction between El Capitan and XQuartz.  I am curious is anybody else has reported this issue and if there was a resolution.

This is an ssh "feature," has nothing to do with X11, and is not new to El Capitan.  Read up on ForwardX11Timeout.

Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2016-01-12 17:19:51 UTC

I suggest you set:

ForwardX11Timeout 596h

Thanks.  Will give it a try.
