How can I increase my ssh time out? I want user to stay logged in a long as they like. They are using putty.

Thanks!
 
Putty is more faulty to fall timeouts (especially when network is down for some time) than the unix ssh client. Check its local settings also.

man sshd_config, and try playing with the values of

SSH protocol keepalive
ClientAliveInterval
ClientAliveCountMax

Default TCP keepalive
TCPKeepAlive
