Hi Valentin,

The problem is that the timeout option only works on the ssh_connect
part and not on the whole socket thing. This is a known limitation of
libssh 0.4 which should be mitigated in libssh 0.5. (don't hold your
breath).
As a workaround, you should use ssh_get_fd() and do some low level
sysctl magic to ask the OS (linux, bsd, windows ?) to shut down the
connection after a specific time without response.

kr,
