I am guilty of premature exaltation. When I wrote the above, I had not
allowed a couple hours go by to see if the ssh sessions would disconnect. I
was just happy that making the recommended change to sshd_config did not
"break" anything, and took it on faith that I'd solved the problem. It
didn't.

I'll add a bit more information in hopes that we can still find a fix. This
Windows 10 laptop goes into "sleep mode" after a couple hours of no
keyboard or mouse input, and when it does so sshd disconnects any sessions.
I didn't mention that in my first message. Sorry. The way I would *like*
Windows to work would be to stay in full power mode while a service like
sshd is active. I don't know my laptop well enough to know if there is any
setting I can toggle to avoid this semi-shutdown, or at least extend the
time before it does this. Perhaps someone on the list knows?

Also, I remember hearing of a "mouse jiggler" utility that would simulate
use of the mouse to keep Windows from going to sleep, but that was years
ago. If such a thing still exists, maybe a list reader knows about it.

I really appreciate the help. Thanks,
    Soren A
