Disconnect idle users on FreeBSD

 If you are trying a solution to disconnect idle users automatically from your server,  take a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/idled. Maybe also is possible to activate this option directly in sshd but I don’t find that option. Please let me know if it is possible.
But, idled works well, and can be used with all types of user login sessions.

put in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

ClientAliveCountMax 0
ClientAliveInterval 60

this will disconnect after 60 sec of inactivity
